Steve Woodcock Posted October 12, 2009 Posted October 12, 2009 (edited) Hey folks, I have a small favour to ask of any Finale (pre v. 2010) users on here: I am currently using PrintMusic 2009 and one of its most frustrating limitations is that it doesn't offer the option of x-noteheads - this makes it virtually useless for notating funk transcriptions! It will (apparently) display them OK if I were to open a Finale file with them on though... So, would someone be able to send me a Finale file containg some x-noteheads to see if I can then save it as a template please? Edited October 13, 2009 by Stickman Quote
sdgrsr400 Posted October 12, 2009 Posted October 12, 2009 (edited) Hi, try the attached: as uploads of Finale .mus files are not allowed, I've renamed it to have an extension of .pdf - just rename it back to .mus. This was created with FinWin 2009. Edited October 12, 2009 by sdgrsr400 Quote
Bilbo Posted October 13, 2009 Posted October 13, 2009 This is a problem on my version of Sibelius, too. My version is old, however, so newer updates may have resolved this. Quote
Steve Woodcock Posted October 13, 2009 Author Posted October 13, 2009 Many thanks to [b]sdgrsr400[/b] and [b]XB26354[/b], problem solved! Bilbo, I'm surprised this option was ever missing from Sibelius - I'd figured it was only missing from PrintMusic as an incentive to upgrade to the full version of Finale... Quote
XB26354 Posted October 13, 2009 Posted October 13, 2009 Yeah, I voiced my annoyance at that on the Make Music forums as almost all guitarists and bass players would need x-notes but few if any require all the functionality of Finale. I don't and I really like Print Music's simplicity - I used to use the score function in Logic which was horrendous in comparison! Quote
