I want to enter solid notes (crotchets/quarter-notes) with no stems for a Gregorian chant.
Technical support have told me this can't be done within this program as opposed to Finale at a much higher price.
Has any-one got a fix for this? I thought I could use a black sphere and insert it as a graphic, but I find that note-heads are elliptical and sit obliquely! Any help gratefully received.

| Posted 9/10/2013 7:36 AM (GMT -6) | | | I've been able to import stemless notes from MuseScore into PrintMusic, but still have a problem. The clef in the imported score in PrintMusic only shows on the first stave (although clefs are present in every line on the MuseScore souce file) - the 2nd & 3rd look very lodd without a clef. Changing clefs, adding new staves, copying and pasting from the first stave - none of these solve the problem. Any ideas? | | Back to Top | |

| Posted 9/10/2013 8:52 AM (GMT -6) | | Try this: set up a new document in PM, using the setup wizard, NOT the default document. The new file will have clefs on every staff. Copy the headless notes from your original PM doc, and paste them into the new one.
The problem is that the "lead sheet" default document in PM is set up with the clef on the first staff, only. This is not a setting you can change. What you CAN do, if you like, is create a new document, and save that as your default, or, as a template.

| Posted 9/10/2013 9:55 AM (GMT -6) | | The "lesser" Finale siblings: PrintMusic, SongWriter, and NotePad, are often referred to as child products. All of them are based on Finale, but with many/most of the features disabled. In the past, MM has prohibited using the forum to talk about methods to circumvent some of these shortcomings, since they would rather see the user upgrade, and in fact, it is somewhere in the Terms of Use for the forum.
(Michel, I love your new quote!)
