Just a question. Does any of you have the orchestral score of musical Cabaret - the version revised in 1987 - written in Finale?

| Posted By : Ebony Ivory - 3/30/2014 6:49 AM | I think John's reply should be thought of in conjunction with a subtext - this music is Copyright, and anyone offering you copies - whether in Finale format or even just PDF - would be breaking the law.

| Posted By : Marius - 3/30/2014 9:40 AM | Sure Brian, you and John are right in case that the work would be performed publicly without paying for the rights. I agree with that 100%!
Otherwise, the general score can be found and bought in any music store. And anyone could copy it into Finale if they want to study this genre of music or this kind of orchestration or develop something else starting from it. No way to perform anything without paying for the rights!
I just thought that maybe someone already had it written in Finale. That's all.

Even if someone had done so, to distribute it to others would break copyright law.
It really doesn't matter if you are using the score for study or for performance.
Since it is under copyright, you have to buy the score from a recognized official distributor.
If you buy it, then make a .MUS file out of it for yourself that's one thing.
But if you buy it, make the .MUS file, then distribute that Finale file to others, you are breaking the law.

Also illegal.
Creating such a Finale score would be a huge amount of work for just a study score.

You know Mike, with comments like that, you are no better than a name-calling troll yourself. You should know better. Be the bigger person. Think on it.

| Posted By : Vaughan - 3/31/2014 3:26 AM | Actually, this whole copying/copyright business is quite involved and it gets misinterpreted or ignored more often than not. How often do I have to fight to get a choir to buy parts (which usually aren't even that expensive) instead of just copying everything, or that I get handed something someone plucked from somewhere dodgy and it's either illegally copied or really badly engraved and I have to sit there gritting my teeth, trying to read past all the mistakes and unnecessarily clumsy notation. This problem in all its ramifications remains relevant and ubiquitous, and if it doesn't concern or interest you, just ignore it. What does anyone gain (including you) from a totally useless, non-constructive, socially inept remark?

Well, this is certainly illuminating. Not.
Did admin do something to someone, possibly someone on my ignore list, and I missed it?

Now with so many musicals being typeset afresh in Finale, I would go the other way and say I would LOVE to be sent the Finale version rather than a dirty, pencilmark-filled paper score or even a PDF (the latter are sometimes offered to professional companies). I have just had to transpose one number in a forthcoming production, from F back to its original key of Eb, and to say it was a boring job copying the full score, page by page, staff by staff, just so I could eventually change the key and extract new parts, would be understatement of the year. It would have saved me over a day just to load up the existing Finale source and transpose it.

Since we've gone from the basement full of monks to the desktop copier, changes have not kept pace. Surely, better minds than mine could come up with a method of generating clean, unmarked scores to purchasers while still protecting the investment.

The only pre-existing works I would use are old folk songs--and in those cases I'd rather have a clean copy and importing it into Finale is irrelevant because of the way I'd use it. Otherwise, I download scores to study them, not to copy or amend them. I do hear what you are saying though and understand that a Finale copy would save an arranger a lot of work.

You mean, "If they can put a man on the moon..."? It's a hard problem, and I suspect there is no technological fix.
Of course a digital or Finale copy is better. But that needs to be under the control of the copyright holder; certainly not traded on a BBS on the web! I'm sure the distributors of those musicals Brian speaks of would love to be able to just email files when they rent something out rather than printing and shipping paper copies and dealing with the hassles of getting them shipped back, erasing markings, dealing with spilled coffee, etc. But to do so would be to make copying trivial, so they are wise not to.

| Posted By : Marius - 4/1/2014 7:18 AM | Thank you, guys, to all of you for your opinions. They are very important to me.
Concerning the topic, I just thought it would be easier to study a score written in Finale as one can change tonality with one click, analyze the instrumentation and hear parts of it within the program and learn easier whatever he(she) needs to learn.
With a regular score all these are not possible.
But, if even that means breaking the law, i understand. I ordered a regular score.
Thousands thanks again!
