Finale 2018
You best option is to upgrade to Finale 25: MakeMusic has been offering some good deals on upgrade pricing recently. The whole app has been updated to 64-bit, and there are many new features and bug fixes included since 2011.You could continue to use 2011 in a virtual machine, running an earlier MacOS version inside a software environment. Parallels Desktop Lite is available free on the Mac App Store.You could also try downgrading from High Sierra to an earlier version of MacOS, but you might find that other, newer apps don't run on older OSes! Also, if High Sierra has updated your hard drive to the new APFS disk format, downgrading is more complicated than normal.Progress!

Nothing stands still.Unlike many other apps, it makes no difference whether the drive is formatted APFS or not — I tested this. Not only does it not run in 10.13 but a new install will not authorize in 10.10 or later.Finale 11 must be installed in OS 10.9 or earlier. It will then work if the OS is updated through OS 10.12 with limitations. Human Playback, resizing tool palettes and other tools may cause problems —YMMV.
You are here: TupletsTupletsYou haven’t explored Finale’s tuplet (triplets,quintuplets, and so on) features in Speedy Entry yet. Scroll to measure2—which is empty—and try the Tuplet Tool. Clickthe Speedy Entry Tool, and click measure 2. Whileplaying any MIDI keyboard key, press the 5 key four times. You’vejust entered four quarter notes on the same pitch.If Finale doesn’t automatically advance theediting frame to the next measure, press the right bracket key ( ).
Press-3 (Mac: -3). You do this beforeentering a triplet; Finale puts a tiny “3” in the upper right of the editingframe, letting you know it’s expecting the next three notes to constitutea triplet. Whileplaying any MIDI keyboard key, press the 6 key three times.
Assoon as the third note appears, Finale centers the “3” over the triplet.You’ve just created a half-note triplet. Pressthe 0 (zero) key to exit the editing frame. In measure 2, you havefour quarter notes; in measure 3, you have a half note triplet. You canmodify each with the Tuplet Tool. Clickthe Tuplet Tool in the Main Tool Palette.
Click the first quarternote in measure 2. The Tuplet Definition dialog box appears.At the top of the screen there are variousoptions for defining the temporal (time) definition of the triplet. Usingthese drop-down lists and text boxes, you’ll answer the question, “Howmany of what value are to be played in the time of how many of what value?” Look at the two text boxes at the top of the Tuplet Definition dialog box (that you just opened). As you see, Finale has guessed that you want to fit three quarternotes in the time of two—precisely the definition of a quarter-note triplet.In the Appearance section, there are optionswhere you can specify how the triplet should look in the score. Shouldit have a slur or a bracket? Should it be expressed as a ratio?
Shouldit have a number? For now, the default settings are fine. ClickOK. You’ve just turned ordinary quarter notes into a triplet byclicking the first of them with the Tuplet Tool. (You can edit the tupletto look any way you’d like.) Notice the six handles that appear. Thesehandles control the various elements of the bracket:You can modify the triplet you made in Measure3, too. Clickthe first note of the triplet in measure 3.
The tuplet handlesappear. Dragthe handles until the triplet appears the way you want it to.You can create tuplets within tuplets, too.It doesn’t matter whether you begin by creating the inner or outer tuplet.If you find yourself defining the same kindof tuplet over and over again in a piece, define it as a Tuplet Tool Metatool.Here’s an example:. Clickthe main handle of the triplet in measure 3 and press Delete.
Thisis how you turn tuplet-defined notes back into normal notes.Now let’s define a Tuplet Metatool. You cancreate thirty-six predefined tuplets, complete with brackets and temporalinformation. Start by programming a basic, straight-bracket half notetriplet.
Whilepressing, press the 1 key (on the number row, not thenumeric keypad). The Tuplet Definition dialog box appears. Firstyou need to describe the temporal value of the triplet you want this metatoolto produce. Type3 in the first text box.
Finale 2010 Mac Update
Tab to the second text box and type 2.Choose Half (s) from both duration drop-down lists. You’ve justspecified that this metatool will create a tuplet that fits three halfnotes in the time of two. Whilepressing the 1 key, click the first note in measure 3. Finale popsthe fully formed tuplet bracket into the score. Now you can move quicklythrough a score, inserting tuplet definitions on any notes that need themwithout having to enter a dialog box, confident that they’ll look righton the first try.Finally, if you’re creating a piece with manytuplets, you’ll want to predefine their visual definition. With this shortcut,you’ll never have to define visual appearance again when you create anew tuplet, whether with HyperScribe or the Speedy Entry Tool; you canspecify a default tuplet appearance before you ever enter the tupletsthemselves. Note that the following shortcut is not the same as creatinga metatool which turns normal notes into tuplets after they’ve been enteredinto the score.
By using the following technique, you can specify whatthe tuplets will look like when they first appear.click (Mac: double-click) the Tuplet Tool. DocumentOptions-Tuplets appears. It is similar to the Tuplet Definition dialogbox.If you prefer a slur to a bracket or a ratioto a number, choose different options from the drop-down lists. ClickOK. That’s all there is to it. From now on, any new tuplet youcreate will pop into the score with your predefined settings. Try it!(Remember: to enter a triplet with the Speedy Entry Tool, press -3 (Mac: -3) just before you enter the notes themselves.)Changes to the Document Options-Tupletsonly affect future tuplets, not existing tuplets, in that document.
