Finale Forum

Hello, I was working on my finale project with my teacher. I airdroped my file to her computer and she has a slightly updated version. When she airdoped it back to me and I opened it I got a compatibility issue (not uncommon) and then when it opened I got question marks everywhere. How do I go about...

I will probably go with a bVII chord

Thanks! yes, this is good. I have to dim into a long loud chromatic chord. But, I am not sure how to achieve that.

I can change the notes after. I just don't know how to enter the parts staggered like it says

hello,

i am working on a reed quintet. My teacher gave me a note of what to do next. But, she went to France for a family emergency. So, I am stuck with how to proceed.

The section is at measure 51

Thanks

Hello, I was wondering if someone could help me. I am "mixing" my composition trying to make sure the levels are good and things aren't too loud or soft (especially my percussion). I want someone to take a look at my finale file and make sure it sounds good. I have exported the track to a wave file ...

Thank you so much! I like it!

Hello,

I wrote an impressionist-style piece. I am stuck on what the last chord should be at the end. Also, in measure 27 in the left hand of the piano, I want to have a tremolo. What notes should I use? Thanks!

Thanks! I change that right away!

Hello,

I am writing a short 20 measure waltz and wanted to get anyone's feedback.

Hello,

I am working on a piece and this is what I have so far. I was wondering if I could get feedback and opinions on it. I am trying to use Debussy's "Preludes" as inspiration.

Thanks

djdillyc,

Take a look at the attached Finale document.
Is this what you mean?

Thanks! I believe this is what I had in my head!

In my first measure, I have a time signature of 2/1. I want to have 16th notes playing alternating B Major chord going up the piano. But I want it to be rolling alternating from left hand to right hand and end on a G. I tried to notate that with the speedy entry. I clicked on the measure and then pr...

Hello, I am working on a piece and I am using some of Debussy's Preludes as inspiration for different techniques. At the beginning of the piece I want to have a B major chord arpeggiated (rolled) alternating between the left hand and right-hand crossing over. And then ending on a G. I am having trou...

Hello, I am working on a piece and my teacher asked me to go to speedy entry. Then click in the measure and do the key command option 6. I did that and she told me hit 3 six times to put in sixteenth note rests with a bracketed 6 underneath to put them in a group. I did that but they were on top of ...

Hello,

I am working on a song and would love some feedback and suggestions to improve measures 29-40. And also measure 49 - ? I wanna add 16th note arpeggios. So, any advice on how to construct those.

Thanks!

Thanks

Hello, I was doing another harmonic analysis and got stuck. I did most of it but the ones with arrows and blank spaces are the ones I had trouble with. I was wondering if I could get guidance with it. Also, I wasn’t sure if the ones I labeled as seventh chords were actually seventh chords. I tried t...

Nevermind. I think I got it.

Thanks. If I have the alto go to C then I will have too much space between Soprano and Alto

Hello, I am doing part writing exercise. I got it back and the teacher says I need to fix the parallel octaves. I am not sure how to do that because I cannot change the bass. Should I make the V chord in the first inversion? But then I will have an Augmented second problem. Thanks https://imgur.com/...

Hello,

I am working on a part writing exercise. I've added some NCTs and now I need to write a suspension somewhere. But I am stuck where to add the suspension. I also don't know if I added the NCTs correctly.

Here is what I have: https://imgur.com/a/pDjIGN0

Thanks!

Hello,

I am working on something in finale where I need two seperate rhythms within a measure. I figured out how to do layers. But when I put in the different rhythm it comes out weird with rests.

I did see your last post. Thanks! I have since added to a new section and wanted to get some feedback on that.
