Re: Template Help

I still appreciated it and incorporated some of your movement throughout, I just wanted to keep the original melody for that spot

Re: Template Help

Yes I am aware of the differences, but I'm very new to finale, sometimes the lines look more slurred than tied (like under the Ab chord)

Re: Template Help

Is this better? Not to me. Too much space between staves, not enough between systems. Also, the stepped slurs in the tenor line in m. 6 is not standard practice. There is no magic template to do what you are asking for. All that a template will do is give you a starting point of the basic staff, do...

Will this help the passage you mentioned?

Yes and no, I'd like to keep the melody the same, just something maybe in the tenor or alto under the Eb7 and maybe something more interesting in the alto under the Bbm that would compliment the ascending tenor line.

Re: Template Help

I know this isn't the thread for this, but any arrangement suggestions would be helpful as well, like a walkup between the Eb7 to Ab in the middle of the chorus

Hymnal Arrangement

Any thoughts on this SATB/Hymnal arrangement?

My F7/A chord is a little hollow sounding, but not sure how to fix that exactly.

Re: Template Help

I fail to see how a template can help. You can certainly narrow the space between the staves on the last three systems of the Chorus, especially since your hairpins are much too wide. So that would allow more space between the systems and the second page would work as it stands. But the first page ...

Re: Template Help

… Would anyone be able to make a custom template for this song after seeing it all together? According to your Forum Profile (shown in the right side of your posts) you are (still) using Finale 2006. The Finale .mus file format is only downwards compatible, not upwards compatible. This means that y...

Re: Template Help

I don't know from templates but I would narrow the intra-system space between the two staves and increase the space between systems. Hmmmm, I've already experimented with that. I'm not sure what else I can do to make it smaller. Would anyone be able to make a custom template for this song after see...

Template Help

I'm a church pianist and I'm trying to create a hymnal style, 4-part arrangement of an original hymn. It has an intro, 3 verses, and a chorus. I would like my first page to be less cluttered, but not sure what template would work for it.
