Kevin Leslie Thomas I want to be able to share a video or audio file of Finale without sharing print capabilities. Is this possible?

Hi Kevin,

If you go to File Menu -> Export to Audio File (2009 or 2010) or Save Special (2008 or previous), you should have an option to save as a WAV/AIFF/MP3 file. Otherwise, there are some freeware screen capture programs available that can capture audio playback and a video of the score playing simultaneously.

Yeah, I saw that. I think I did that. Maybe I just need to find the file now. I guess I was on the right track. Oooh. Screen capture programs? That is what I want.

Louise Jefferson Daniel Help! I'm trying to insert some Italian lyrics. Need an acute accent over an "e" and a grave accent over an "a". Can you tell me how to do it? I've already tried to cut and paste from WORD. No luck on that one.

Try pasting from the Character map utility. Also, make sure that the font you're using supports the character.

...or type them in directly in Finale: é is Alt+0233, à is Alt+0224 (using the digits on the num pad)

Holger Schmitt-Hallenberg

Holger Schmitt-Hallenberg I encounter a strange problem on Finale 2009: I try to change a key in a bar, but the key is first changed two bars later (as is the automatic transposition). Btw. it is the same when entering a new time signature. Have I "locked" two bars, somehow? Has anyone encountered a similar problem?

Hey... Is anyone at finale thinking about an app for the ipad? I think a finalenotepad app would be awesome!! And worth paying $$ for!

Susan Martin Weaver

Susan Martin Weaver I'm installed Printmusic 2002 on a new machine (Win XP) and it keeps telling me I must install the Maestro font from the installation CD, but I can't seem to do it! I can find the file on the CD, but when I try to open it all that happens is Printmusic opens asking for the font... Am I being stupid here? (Be nice to a gray-haired old lady, please ;)

Hi Charles,

Certainly! After scanning the document, choose the Key Signature Tool. Double-click on the measure you wish to make the change at and select the proper key.

I'm working on a large chamber piece
that includes percussion. I'm experiencing playback inconsistencies. On some voices the dynamic will drop where there is no marking, hairpins sometimes work and other times not. And I generally can't get the score to respond to the higher dynamic levels.
