Help! / Re: Which would be more correct?
August 08, 2009, 12:13:31 PM
well in most of the music  that i play (lots of styles) when the notes are going up, use the notes with the given key signature, and if necessary, the double sharp, and same goes with descending, the notes with the key, naturals, and if necessary, flats.

Help! / Re: Time signature question on Finale

yeah on the top part of the toolbar, where you can set the tempo. choose the bpm to equal the dotted-quarter. it takes out any confusion (try counting quartets in a triplet feel! lol)

Help! / Re: Going down an octave...
August 08, 2009, 12:07:30 PM
well of course the key signiture trick will move the notes down, but it would make it harder (or in some cases, easier) to play. well of course this is my opinion, but if you're going to move all the notes in a particular song, the shift+down is too slow, because you have to do it note by note. the mass edit (looks like a dotted box) then right click and select transpose. choose "down" in one box and "perfect octave" in the other; this trick also helps if you need to transpose to different instruments (for example, piano or anything else in C, to say, trumpet (which is a Bb instrument, most of the time), select "up"  and "major second"

actually to move everything down and octave use the mass edit tool
highlight everything (if its more than one page, then click on the first meas. (then use shift+right to highlight all the measures, or u can use ctrl+a) then right click and select "transpose" then u should be able to pick perfect octave down and it should move all of the notes

and btw, the concert pitch "trick" wont work here because FYI, the cello plays in concert pitch (the same as the piano) so the notes wont move when you select the concert pitch...thing..

Help! / Re: Question About Chords
August 08, 2008, 10:57:30 AM
sustained yes but

7th chords depend on major or dominant

in the DM7 (major seventh) case, the octave of the root is "replaced" with the seventh (leading tone) eg. D - F# - A - C#
and
in the D7 (dominant 7) case, the octave of the root is "replaced" with the seventh, then lowered a half step. same as lowering a M7 chord's 7 eg. D - F# - A - C
the six chords are usually inverted root positions of other chords
for example a C6 sounds like Am but with a c root (C - E - A - C) the fifth is "replaced" with the sixth (no G)

you can change how the playback sounds by going to  MIDI, then select midi setup....there should be a box with a downward arrow that would say either "Softmusic" etc or "Windows" etc. i forget exactly what it says..if the windows one is selected, the playback will sound more "electric" and if the softmusic (might be different but similar name) sounds more "real". it at least works this way for printmusic. as for the reverb go to WINDOW, then instrument list....at the bottom there should be a couple of reverb options, you can select plate or none for little to none (of course) reverb or set the amount with a number in the box to the right

(?? a minor?? isnt that A C E  and C minor C Eb G)? diminished is written as Xdim or sometimes X(with a minus sign/hyphen in the superscript) and augmented chord symbols are Xaug or X+

well as for 7th Chords (ie. X7 where X is amount of black mana spent...jk the chord name) is just a major triad with the seventh note of the root scale but, it is lowered one half-step eg. a D7 chord in root position would be a D F# A C (natural despite being sharp in the key of d major)


and for sustained chords the third of the scale is "replaced" or "raised" so the fourth is played instead...this chord is usually used for a leading into a final chord .... it is written Xsus4 or sometimes just Xsus... eg.  Dsus4 or Dsus would be D G A D  .....u hear this chord then in most music it would go to the root chord (eg. D F# A D)
