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.

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. [:)]
