Re: Multi movement work
Good morning, Thanks, guys! Fred, yes, I have heard that most of other programs work perfectly better than Finale and I don't doubt that. There are many basic issues I face working on Finale that are basic and it should not be doing any, and yet they happen. Well, the thing is engraving a multimovem...

Multi movement work
Hello fellas! It's been a while I don't post in here, I hope you're all doing great! I'm still searching solutions for my engraving issues on Finale, and today I ask you, guys, if you know how to engrave a multi-movement work. Is there any specific solution on Finale or we just have to save differen...

Re: Using leftover space
Hello, John and Octo If I'm engraving a duo piece (piano and another instrument), I generally use 3 system for the first page (title, subtitle, composer, etc.) and 4 systems for the rest of the pages. That works for the score, but not always the movement ends with exact 4 systems. I was wondering if...

Using leftover space
Hello fellas! Hope you're all doing well. Would you know how to use empty spaces on a score that leftover from a movement? I'd rather use it and start a new movement than having just on or two systems and waste the rest of the space. That doesn't look much professional... Actually, I think that's an...

Re: Tuplets
Hey John, Yes, exactly what I do. It just doesn't work... Finale just doesn't allow me to insert different rhythms from those I have previously chosen. When that happens, I often have to use the Text tool or Articulation tool to draw a note and "cheat" on Finale this way... the problem now...

Tuplets
Hello fellas,
How can I make tuplets with different rhythms on Finale? Like a triplet with one eighth-note and one quarter-note, or a triplet with one quarter-note and two sixteenth-notes? It's weird coz sometimes I can do it and sometimes I can't...
Thanks!

Re: Microengraving
Good morning, fellas Yeah, that sounded strange to me too... I thought this term "microengraving" was common among professionals publishers. Maybe she's a professional and raises the detail level to the highest. Actually, I was wondering if that microengraving referred to a calculated kind...

Microengraving
Hey fellas,
A colleague from grad school engraved two sonatas for violin and piano of a XIX composer. She called her work as microengraving.
Does that really exist? What is it about?

Re: The term "Authentic" in Music Editing
Hi, John Thanks for you feedback. I have been working on engraving some works of this particular composer because they are almost all on manuscripts still, rarely performed, not simple at all to play and so unique. He died in 1914 at 30yo, so he didn't really have time to review his works, and yet h...
