Finale Forum

Have a look at my Finale font name troubleshooting guide at the end of this article and/or read the full article. https://elbsound.studio/font-names-in-finale.php Maybe this helps? My guess: Add the english typeface to the font name and enter it into the font name field and select "Standard" in the ...

I get the same behaviour as you describe. Could be a bug.
The only time I had a correct playback was when I attached the expression before the grace notes, like this: Jan

I started a cluster plugin for JW Lua some time ago (for a project at that time), but as I never had cluster projects afterwards it somehow didn't really finish. The plugin can turn tone cluster into either SMuFL cluster notation or Maestro square noteheads (Engraver would be easily implemented as i...

N Grossingink is right: Finale won't allow a time signature of 4/0. But it allows for example 4/1 or 4/2. So if you still follow the font way, it depends on how many different denominators you need. If your score has three different denominators (e.g. 2/2, 3/4 and 6/8) it won't work. If it only has ...

You probably didn't click on the AshMusic link (which actually doesn't exist as this font isn't sold anymore), but on the link for the "B" font Anastasia which is included in Encore. I have updated the script now, so that it is more clear that the link doesn't exist. Many fonts are not available ind...

jzucker, there must be something wrong with your system. Even your Maestro font looks very grainy in your first image. Could it be that you have switched off the Windows font smoothing functions (although I don't know if they affect Finale) or that you're working at the wrong monitor resolution ? If...

>they look grainy and the articulations for up and down stroke look particularly bad. Which of the 25 Elbsound fonts are you talking of? >They appear extremely grainy as if they are not aliased. Hm, if you look at the high resolution PDF of the Elbsound fonts created from within Finale( https://elbs...

In Jazz Font you can use symbol 118 for up bow: There are many places where the Jazz Font is not fully compatible with Maestro.
The Elbsound package fonts are 100% compatible with Maestro.

The (free) Elbsound Music Font Package for Finale includes four jazz fonts which are fully (!) compatible with Maestro: LijazFIN, ImprvFIN, GldngFIN and JzBscFIN.

UVI PlugsoundPro has finger snaps. It's a very versatile and inexpensive VST library that works fine in Finale. From time to time it's on sale for about $80. http://www.uvi.net/en/orchestral-compos ... d-pro.html

I can simply select it in the Score Manager. Does it have to do with Fin2012? I don't know. I am using Fin2014/Windows. It doesn't have to do with the instrument name ("Blank Staff"). This is how it looks here (in any Finale document): scoremanager.jpg (Make sure the bank/channel setting matches you...

In your example file you also need to switch to "VST Playback": it is currently set to MIDI playback. Check "MIDI/Audio->Play Finale through VST". When I changed that it, your file worked. Attention: when you change it, make sure the score manager settings are still correct (Finale sometimes updates...

Jun's LM1 works fine in Finale -> see example file in the link above.

I am also working on an automatic score balancing plugin. The VCR plugin is an option, but on the scores I tested it used to crash most of the time. Even very simply scores crashed (in 2014.5 and Fin25). Here are some results of the current version of my plugin: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SgYjN...

Here are a few fonts that have a triple dot symbol included:

>Jun's Linn drum VST plugin is not only incompatible with Finale, it doesn't even work in any DAW I have used. I have just downloaded and tested it. It does work in Finale (tested in Fin2014.5/Windows10). Also the installation went fully automatically. Here is a simple drum pattern Finale document w...

>I downloaded eleven drum VST plugins, and none are compatible with Finale. Are you sure that you downloaded and installed the correct VST version? VSTi plugins usually work in Finale. But you need to download the 32bit for everything until 2014.5, and 64bit for Fin25. A Linn drum VST is for example...

I second what Harpsi said, especially "lots of work".
AHK is very powerful, but I also find it rather difficult to develop with.

Here are some ideas how AutoHotKey can be used in Finale:

I have added an image and font list of hard-to-find music symbols for Finale on my webpage which also includes the scoop symbol. The fall symbol is usually included in the same fonts as the sccop: See https://elbsound.studio/catalog-of-music-symbols.php#scoop https://elbsound.studio/img/fontcatalog/...

N Grossingink, did you read the article I posted two weeks ago about Finale font name handling? Have you tried all the workarounds that I mention at the end of the article? https://elbsound.studio/font-names-in-finale.php It is very likely that there is an easier solution than editing each font name...

In the November2 font the symbol is called "Crescendo Molto (Jazz Style)".

Design your own hairpin end symbol.

I used the same symbol in the music font comparison.
It looks pretty good in most cases though not in every one:
https://elbsound.studio/music-font-comp ... t=BetvnFIN

This font symbol is available in different line thicknesses, maybe try another font? Here is a list of fonts that include this symbol: https://elbsound.studio/catalog-of-music-symbols.php#crescendomolto Or adjust the hairpin line thickness in your Finale document settings.

Arturo, you need to use a font that has the same baseline for the accent > as the Maestro notehead. If you use the Maestro accent, it won't work and result in the notehead a second too high. You could use for example all LilyPond fonts for the accent (Beethoven, Haydn, Cadence,...) - they will work ...

Now I have a response from MM. First they supposed to change the quantization settings to smallest note value quarter notes ... no comment on that (everything became quarter notes!). Then they supposed to change the quantization settings to eighth notes ... still no good idea ... all triplets disapp...
