You may remember Reorder Staves appeared as a feature in an earlier version of Finale for a short time but was pulled because there were some catastrophic problems with it. However, it’s a bit strange that, at least on the Mac, the regular Measure Attributes dialog does not also override the global setting.Īnother favorite addition of mine is Reorder staves. And, I was pleased to see that this global feature can be overridden in individual measures by choosing a new Barline style from the Contextual menu on a case by case basis. This is yet another feature that depreciates a plugin, in this case the Automatic Barlines plug-in has been removed. So nice to finally be able to have double barlines automatically appear properly before all key changes in a score! This is found in Document Options > Barlines.
One of my favorites is the new Automatic double barlines before key changes feature. It appears that the Mic Notator feature for transcribing audio performances has been removed, but you can still record an audio track into a Finale document.įinale 2014.5 has added a few very useful new features. Finale now includes a template and a FinaleScript to create large print music for people with visual impairments according to the Modified Stave Notation (MSN) standard. There are clearly labeled typeset and handwritten versions of the Latin Percussion styles. There have been some updates to MusicXML and new support for EPUB3 for export. Additionally, some safeguards have been built in so that Finale should seamlessly switch to another output device rather than crashing when you remove an audio device while FInale is open. For instance, Apply Human Playback is now part of the MIDI tool menu, and the Change Noteheads utility has been updated to include the functionality of the depreciated Change Noteheads plug-in.įinale is no longer restricted to playback at 44.1 kHz and can play at any sample rate supported by the selected audio output device.
In addition, a few plugins have been removed because they have finally become actual features a welcome addition. For instance, plugins which do not apply to Linked parts are now properly disabled when editing a linked part. On the Mac, the splash screen and dock icon have a modern, minimalistic flat look:Ī number of plugins have been updated. For instance, on the Mac, the installer no longer throws up a message asking if you want to open a file from an unidentified developer.
#FINALE 2014.5 TRANSPOSE MEASURES INSTALL#
(You’ll have to redo your Finale workspace preferences and install any 3rd party plugins for this version, but in my opinion, well worth the few minutes this will take.)įinale 2014.5 has a new installer framework for both the Mac and PC, which should provide a more pleasant install experience for most users.
#FINALE 2014.5 TRANSPOSE MEASURES UPDATE#
Although this is a maintenance update to Finale 2014, the installer leaves your original Finale 2014 application in place, allowing you to have both Finale 2014 and Finale 2014.5 installed at the same time. 11/17/15 : Today, following numerous teasers on the twitter feed in the last few days, MakeMusic has released an incremental, but significant update to Finale 2014 they have dubbed “2014.5”.
