Hi All,
In Finale 2014.5, is there a way to enter a baritone guitar that's tuned down a perfect 5th so that it always comes up as a menu option (w/ transposition) in setup wizard without having to enter a guitar and make transposition changes in the Score Manager window each time I start a new chart?
Thank you
Baritone Guitar Menu Option

Unfortunately this is not easy to do - unless you are familiar with SQLite3 databases.
There is a "InstrumentsConfig.db" file, which is an SQLite3 document.
There are several apps that read and write to SQLite3 databases.
Another idea:
Create a new template, and set up that template with a Baritone Guitar.
Then, instead of using the Document Setup Wizard, create new documents from your new, custom template.

I don't know anything about this. Is it doable for a guitar player?

I am not sure I understand, what you mean by your word “it”.jackostrato wrote:I don't know anything about this. Is it doable for a guitar player?
Could you be more specific?

I'm guessing he was joking about the abilities of guitar players to do anything too complicated. Since he is a guitar player, it appears he was joking about a stereotype about guitar players.
If I'm wrong, I will apologize. Since I'm a drummer (at least in a part of my musical past), I'm used to the jokes poking fun at the abilities (or lack thereof) of drummers.
