F27 doesn't display 16ths, staff styles etc.
Moderators: Peter Thomsen, miker
Hi all,
Currently climbing up that learning curve ☺
I downloaded the V27 Demo which was 200Mb then activated on purchase.
The program won't display 16th notes (straight or swing) and a lot seems to be missing like staff styles (e.g. slash).
I loaded some libraries of Chord suffixes but have I got the full package, so to speak?
Cheers

Thanks Mike,
I reinstalled using the Finale bundle installer I used on my other machine, which did display 16ths.
Oddly, it didn't work, but I tracked it down to the midi import 'smallest note' setting.
I'm trying to change a piano staff to slash notation but neither machine displays that option in the Apply Staff Styles dialogue box.

The staff styles are per-document. Are you opening an old document, or did you create a new one in Finale 27? If you by chance did "New Document Without Libraries," there would be no staff styles, but otherwise they should be there. Opening a MIDI file should use the default document.
Try doing File/New/Default Document and see if it has staff styles. If not, then something went wrong with your installation.

Thanks motet,
A new default document does indeed have the staff styles but not when opening a midi file...or at least it didn't until I changed the default template to Finale Jazz, and now it does!
I set import to 8ths and it displays straight and still plays swung, so that's fine, since this piece has no 16ths.
I assume there is a way to get the display resolution changed for different sections?
At least I'm a little further along today...☺

What I mean is, if I were to import a swung midi piece without quantising, how would I tell Finale to display the notes as straight 8ths and not triplets within the score?
I rarely start with notation, mostly I record in Cakewalk and create midi. However, I will definitely be trying it the other way round at some point.

Thanks motet,
I couldn't find the 'JW Meter and Rhythm' plug-in under JW Tools and read that it might not be included any more?
In theory, I think the MIDI/Audio Quantisation option should work, but I couldn't get it to do anything at all.

OK, I discovered that after changing the Quantisation Settings I have to hit Retranscribe...
That achieves what I want ☺
Thanks to everyone who responded to this thread, I've learned a lot over the past few days and Finale doesn't seem quite so perplexing ☺
