| Posted 10/9/2004 3:02 PM (GMT -5) |   | | I can not understand what is going wrong here guys.
I double click on a measure (for the piano instrument) to open the MIDI tool widnow....OK?
The window displays the Velocities of the wrong stave or instrument.
For the first page of the song it seems that I can not get it to work properly.
The problem starts as soon as a rest exist on the first measure I think....
Please check the file yourself....
Any ideas?
Thank you
Alex

The document seems to work OK for me:
I switch to MIDI Tool, and couble-click the Piano staff in measure 2.
And the upper part of the split-window displays the key velocities for the Piano staff in measure 2.
What happens if you click the arrow buttons in the split-window?
Do the arrow buttons allow you to navigate to the staff/measure you want to see?

I'm surprised, Tyler, that you aren't familiar with this behavior. When you use the MIDI Tool, Split Screen in scroll view for Edit Key Velocities or Edit Note Durations, Finale begins by looking at the top left-most measure that appears on the screen and then continues down the screen. If it finds no notes in any staff in the left-most measure it moves one measure to the right and looks from the top down. This continues until it encounters a measure with notes in it. It then reports that staff in the split screen. For example, say your screen is displaying five staves that are first through fifth trumpets and the fifth trumpet is the first staff to have any notes in it. The MIDI split screen will bypass the first four trumpets (top four staves) and report on the fifth. Furthermore, it will stay with that staff even when you advance to screen views with notes in all the trumpet parts. To have the split screen report on a part, that part (staff) must be the first one on the screen that contains left-most notes.
I'm sure your ex-cohorts at MakeMusic would not admit that this is a system design flaw. But I cannot think of a single circumstance where, when double clicking on 1st trumpet, I would prefer to see the settings for 5th trumpet.

It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing!

Dear Tyler.
Yes, when I switch to the scroll view and I click to proceed to the 2nd measure, it works..
So Peter, I am speaking about using the function from the first measure and not in the Scroll View... It doesn't work...
Thanks Dick...At least there is a work around on this.

When he said; "Try switching to scroll view and see if the correct staff appears for you then. (shortcut ctrl+e)"
As I said, I couldn't look at the specific file in question, but I work in scroll view and it does not select the correct staff for me. My explanation of the behavior is simplified, so not 100% accurate, but is generally how it works. It has worked the same way in every version since at least 2001 --- can't comment on versions before that.

It seems that it works.
Do I miss something here?
