Hi Peter!

Which Finale version are you working with?
Did you use the tremolo marking with the lines across the stem (from the articulation tools) or did you use the word tremolo from the expression tools? As far as I know, only the marking from the articulation tools works for switching to the tremolo patch.

Best wishes,

Is there a way to let Finale 2008 play the repeat articulation notes using Finale Human Playback and VSL ?

Peter,

If you want to use your Special Edition with Finale, I strongly recommend updating to Finale 2009. There you have the possibility to integrate VSTinstruments (respectively AUinstruments) like Vienna Ensemble. With Finale 2007 you have to go over a virtual MIDI port. Furthermore a ready made set of Human Playback Preferences is ready for download for Finale 2009.
As far as I know you can create MIDI control data with the expression tool, but I don't know about keyswitches.

Sergino,

You can create your own Human Playback Preferences with keyswitches and MIDI control data to your liking. For triggering the repetitions, you will have to create a "Custom text" technique. At "Apply only" you will have to enter a keyword (like "repetition") and at "Action" you will have to enter the keyswitch and/or MIDI controller.

Best,
Andi

 Andi,

I'm using 2009 and HPP file so...

For strings:

sFz is not existing in Finale Techniques and Effects editor!

The patch is present in the String Matrix in SE vienna...

What is the way to Create this new Technique in Finale?

The word Sforzato ins not in Finale technique list...???

Do some advice could come from the VSL developer team?

So, let us know...

Thanks

Hi Alain!

For sforzato make a "Custom text" entry in the Human Playback Preferences as described above. The keyword could be "sf" or "sfz".

The normal dynamic expression for sf or sfz will not work for HP. So you have to create your own as Technique Text. Open the Expression tool, go to Technique text and create a new one. The text should be the same as your keyword (probably sf or sfz). In order to look like a normal sforzato marking in your score, change the font to Maestro (size 24, not bold) and let it appear below the staff. For the next note make an expression like "ord." to switch back the articulation (unless you want several sforzati in a row).

Andi,

Thanks,

of course the first part of your answer is familiar for me...

So,

I was seeking for returning to de normal articulation...

What you call "ord." is supose to be an other Home made Techniques?

"ord" It is refering to what exactly?

(Standard (sustained))

????

Means that Final HP is not returning to normal by it self ???

Each time we are using a Home made thing we are breaking the normal Final HP???

I just want to understand well...

If to much things are missing why VSL Team do not write a complet SE set with everything.

We could also give help... !!! ??? as Finale+SE users...

A little confused...

let me know..

Hi Alain!

Sforzato has not been included in the Human Playback Preferences because you have to trick Finale to get it to work. It would only lead to confusion, as it just did with you. Otherwise the HPP for the Special Edition are complete to my knowledge.

For "ord." (which stands for ordinario) I made another home made Technique text, but it was not necessary to include it in the HPP. It then changed back to sustain or detache - depends on the note length. Without it Finale would stay at sforzato. I know that's not very comfortable. That's why it's not included in the original HPP settings for download.

Hi Peter!

I sent you some screenshots of the Finale 2008 HPP. I hope they are of some use for you.
Crescendi in Finale 2008 do also work across the barline.

Andi

Ciao Andy,

would you may those screenshots available for all of us?

Thanx

Sergino

Ciao Sergino!

Ok. Here are screenshots of the Human Playback Preferences for Finale 2008 (German version)

"Bezeichnung" = Name
"Nur anwenden, wenn" = Only use when
"SoftSynth- oder ext. Wiedergabe" = SoftSynth or ext. Playback
"Diese Technik verwenden" = Use this technique

Best,

Andi

Hi Peter!

Finale 2007 is an old version and is not supported by us. As I said before, Finale 2009 works with our Special Edition.

Andi

After a tremolo passage the articulation will switch back automatically.

Sforzato is not recognised by the Human Playback Preferences. If you want to use the sforzato patch without creating an expression for it as described above, don't upgrade to Finale 2009.
Andi

Thanks Peter!

We have no plans for a set of early instruments at the moment. Nevertheless it's always good to know the wishes of our customers. [:)]
