These days, I just don't bother, especially for piano stuff for which I just print out and playĭigital Pianos - Electronic Pianos - Synths &a. There used to be times when I really would have gone this length to make my score look and sound pleasing. With the MIDI tool to control start/stop time of entries, you can even write out the grace notes as quavers and use the tool to fool it into thinking that they're demi-semi's. It might even play correctly if you switch on "Incorporate data" for Start/Stop time in the human playback settings instead of "Ignore data". Select the other three crotchets (or all the other "main" entries in the bar excluding that of the first beat which we just modified), edit BOTH their start AND stop time to -512 EDUs.Īfter you've done all that right, play it without human playback. Double click on your first crotchet, change its "Stop time" to -512 EDUs.Ĩ. The Y axis is the pitch and the X axis is the timeline, and the horizontal line denotes the time during which the note is sounded.ħ. (Double?)click on the staff you're editing, then a graph of all the entries are displayed. On the MIDI tools menu, select for editing Start and Stop time. Since you have 4 x 32nd which is the same length as 1 x 8th, it's a time difference of 512 EDUs.Ħ. Logically, the time taken to play the grace notes will be taken off the length of the first crotchet. If you play it back now, the crotchets will be displaced by half a beat (i.e. literally four 32nds followed by four crotchets.Ĥ. Change the actual meter to 9/8 (which comes from 4/4 + 1/8, the 1/8 comes from 4 x 1/32) (keep the apparent meter at 4/4 so you won't get an ugly time signature!)ģ. Switch on independent time signature on the staff you wantĢ. If your gracenotes take a total actual playing time of 1 quaver, then the shift is 512 EDUs (256 for 1 semi-quaver, etc, etc) You can use the MIDI tools to change the start and stop time of these notes. Which means if your grace notes occupy the first beat of the 5/4, then everything is effectively shifted by 1 beat. The final beat of the 5/4 is simply either ignored (if it's a rest) or played together with the first beat of the next bar. So how is Finale going to play this bar with (say) 5/4 on one staff and 4/4 on the other? Well, I first thought it was going to do something clever and re-value the crotchets in the 5/4 bars into quintuplets so that both bars take the same amount of time to run. What this means is that even though you've changed the meter of the staff you're editing, you haven't changed the global meter. Before you do that though, make sure that the staff you're going to put this on has "Independent time signature" switched on (to do this, use staff tool, double click the staff handle, look at "Independent Items", check "Time Signature"). If you're not using human playback, assuming that you use the full Finale, and also if you're prepared to go any length to achieve both playback and visual "perfection", then try this.Īs 8ude recommended, use real notes to denote grace notes, and change the actual meter accordingly while retaining the apparent meter. Sorry also to dig this up again, but this might be helpful for future cases. ![]()
