highlighting
Posted: Fri Dec 06, 2013 5:06 am
Greetings:
I have a suggestion for Finale: the ability to highlight sections of music.
Here's an application for it: say that I'm teaching a choir to sing the "Amen" from "Messiah" (or any fugue), and I wish to highlight the subject in yellow, the countersubject in green, the answer in orange (or whatever's called for). It would make learning the parts easier, and, as a conductor, I use a highlighter coloring scheme to help me with memorization/learning/etc. Could be a powerful tool in several other applications, too, such as in a classroom setting and wanting to highlight something being projected on a screen.
Note that this is a different request than using layer-colors. I'd like to highlight sections of an entire stave, meaning, all five lines, not just notes, with the ability to stop or start highlighting wherever I want according to the smallest beat value (quarter, half, eighth, etc.).
This suggestion may have already come up; if so, apologies! Couldn't find it in the archives!
