Finale Forum

hi there i heard a lot from this reverse cymbal and it's pretty beautiful when you hear that better than the normal roll , but in symphony who actually wrote that?? i think noone , so i guess that if i write a symphony there is no way i can write that and finale btw has no notation for this kind of ...

exactly , thanks for the tip , now it's good
but i still don't understand why finale makes such a mess when writing the notes
you always have to recheck , other wise your playe
r will be very angry..

thanks again it helped so much!

hi
i searched on google but impossible to find
i want to enlarge the stems so that the player can see the notes mucn easier
here is what i have , they are the last notes on the right the f and the g
any suggestions?
thanks

ah ok , so simple in the end
thanks for your time!

ok i'll check that
i wish it was a plugin in finale though

windows 64

ok thanks for these explanations

I do not understand why you are extracting parts ? You can not use the linked parts instead? (which is what most Finale users do) i didn't know nothing about linked parts , first time i hear that :D and i checked , and the linked parts are exactly what i printed ,not what i saw on the normal part o...

Before trying again : lock the systems (Utilities menu), respace and update layout. thanks i locked the system , i don't know why but i did it .. then respace , i found it nowhere , and then i updated the layout and then i extracted parts and .. same problem thanks anyway but didn't work scorn, You...

hi there i just tried to save a score ,which is very well done with 3 measures for each staves , and though , very readable , but when i try to save it to a pdf , finale does what it wants , it saves it with for ex sometimes 5 measures , sometimes more , and sometimes finale makes a mess with the co...

yes finale decides which way to put the slur based on the note positions but not all the time , i flipped the stems of a note and finale put the slur above then sometimes even if i flip the stem then finale keeps putting the slur below very boring all that well i'm gonna follow your advice , press f...

ok but no i don't know the shortcut to flip the slur
but i still don't understand why finale put the slur above sometimes and below others times
i'm on w11x by the way
thanks for your answer

hi there i encounter a very difficult problem , the slurs in fact when i try to make a slur above the notes , it always appears below them and the more i try ,the more i can't do it , sometimes it works sometimes not what is the method to draw a slur above the notes every time i draw them? thanks y'...

really thank you i did what you said and it worked for the system i'm on windows so i don't have the will return when you switch back to the Smart Shape Tool thing very annoying , but 'i'll deal with it thanks again you really helped me since composing for cello is always sluring sluring and sluring

hi there i'm working on a creation for cellos and the slurs are quite a pain in the butt the problem is to create a slur from the last measure of a staff and that it continues to the next measure of the next staff see there down below so how can i do that? and another question , when i'm working wit...

ok thanks for both of you, now i get it the problem now is the playback that doesn't obey to the 1 and 2 repeat but the playback tool you know the thing that walks through the measure doesn't even work it stays a while when i trigger it through space and left click and then it begins to work while t...

i'm sorry but still struggling with this problem i can do the coda but no 1 and 2 numbers just the sign which means that you have to go back and jump at the measure that i pointed but no 1 and 2 number when i right click and select "Create First and Second Ending" from the Repeat sub-menu. don't kno...

ok thanks for all your replies in the end what solution is the better here? i guess with all the replies , john's is the better right? on the other hand making several layers is always something that i try to avoid but if it's the best way to go , then i'll go for it.. (lucky beethoven who didn't ha...

ok thanks for the reply
this is for the tie
but what about the note?
you can enter a eight note over a 32nd note
it's impossible then .. right?

hi there i played the moonlight sonata a 1000 times , especially the last movement and there is a moment when beethoven wrote that there is only one voice here and though there are 4 notes in 32nd notes and they are all assisted by 4 notes that have all a different duration how can you do that with ...

unbelievable!!
that was sooo simple , but i didn't know it , i tried with the repeat tool and the menu that pop up
and... i got a headache
sooo wonderful!!
thanks man you are a genius!!

hi
i'm struggling with this stupid tool for hours now
i just want to put a repeat on one measure and mostly put the number on the line
you know 1 for the first pass and 2 for the second
impossible to see where to do that
any suggestions?
thanks

ok thanks

no i remember now , it's a little icon in finale that allow you to do that
i'll find it
thanks though for your help

thanks for the reply
it's 3/4
and i don't know the word for that , it's the notes in the key of g , and the others in the other key
