Lesson 4A (advanced): Slur settings, part 1 – Contour and Placement This video will show you how to find them, use them and then how to create your own custom lines using the Smart Line Designer which is not as scary as it sounds. All kinds of custom lines already exist out of the box in Finale including pedal lines, accel., rit., cresc., lines among many others. Learn how to use custom lines to your advantage in this video. The Custom Line tool is a very powerful part of the Smart Shapes Tool. There are some other basic settings for the guitar bends that I will also cover in this video. In this video I’ll discuss how to work with both of them and show you how they interact with each other between a guitar notation staff and a guitar TAB staff. The Bend Hat tool and the Guitar Bend tool are intimately related in Finale. Lesson 2E (basic): Working with Smart Shapes, part 5 – Bends It’s possible to get the glissando line without the text if you know where to look and I’ll show you how to deal with slides (and glissandi) getting in the way of accidentals and other things. This video will demonstrate how to work with these two elements. The Glissando and the Tab Slide (used for trombone slides and other portamento type slides) behave pretty much the same way in Finale. Lesson 2D (basic): Working with Smart Shapes, part 4 – Glissandos and tab slides And there’s a slight difference between the bracket tools and the line tools in Smart Shapes, I’ll show you what those differences are. Octave lines are also easy to manage in Finale but I’ll show you how to choose the 8vb or 15mb sign (versus 8va or 15ma) for your octave down lines ( 4:02 ). Lesson 2C (basic): Working with Smart Shapes, part 3 – Trills, octave lines, brackets, and linesĭrawing a basic trill in Finale is fairly easy but you may not know that trills with a sharp, flat or natural sign is also available in Finale you just have to know where to look ( 1:57 ). And finally hairpins across system breaks have some unique options which will be discussed here as well. Also aligning hairpins either vertically or horizontally is fairly easy once you know how to do it and it can be done right from the Smart Shape tool no plug-ins necessary ( 7:19). By default hairpins will remain horizontal but I will show you how to override that to create angled hairpins. There are several options for drawing and adjusting hairpins in Finale. Lesson 2B (basic): Working with Smart Shapes, part 2 – Hairpins Also covered will be slurs across systems, slurs between layers and I’ll even show you how to create an “S” shaped slur ( 7:15) between two staves of a piano part. I’ll show you how to add them in various ways as well as how to manipulate them so that they will look good in your scores. The slur, the dashed slur and the dashed curve all behave similarly in Finale. Lesson 2A (basic): Working with Smart Shapes, part 1 – Slurs Using metatools is also covered as well as some basic information about the three types of Smart Shapes: beat attached, note attached and notehead attached. This introductory video for Smart Shapes will provide an overview of what elements can be found in the Smart Shape tool and how to simply add those elements to your score.
