Post a link to your file!

I'm so sorry! I don't know why I always forget to do that...
Anyway here is the musicxml file I used:

I fixed a few other things:

• Make title and composer/arranger format match the template font
• Add copyright + site link
• Remove Pno. abbreviation
• Use treble clef in LH for measures 36-43
• A bunch of other weird import nonsense

Hopefully this is alright.

Yeah thank you so much!

One more thing... Its seems notepad 2012 can't export to pdf, only mid. Could you do that too or is there a way I can do that myself?

[Greg]

You could install PDFCreator (or some similar tool) and use that to print to PDF, that's probably the easiest thing to do.

Printing to pdf is way better than exporting as pdf.  Finale's pdf export can do some funny stuff occasionally which is best avoided.

My version of finale can't add voices.
I need measures 36-43 to be changed from what it is now:
MUS
to this:
IMG

Edit: Nevermind. I can do it myself...

[Bobbythekid21]

Alright, so I need a couple of changes to two different .mus files.
So first of all, I need this (Title, from Super Mario Maker) fixed with the following fixes:

• The page number is missing on the 2nd page.
• The copyright and website info is missing on the 2nd page.
• The "Pno." needs to be removed from the beginning of the staffs..
• The measure numbers need to be added.
• The the clefs on the 4th, 5th, and 6th staffs need to be moved apart some.

And it looks like Brawl4Ever had everything else pretty much in order.

Then for this (Overworld - Day from Terraria), it is all just stuff that didn't carry over well in the .mxl file.

• Page numbers need to be added.
• Copyright and website information needs to be added.
• The "Pno." text needs to be removed.
• And the staves need to be moved apart.

Thanks in advance!

I think that Trasdegi's script handles most of these things.  You should use this when transferring from musescore to finale as it makes things a lot easier and saves others from having to make the edits on all of your sheets.  If there's stuff that it doesn't sort out then obviously do post again here with that information.

Alright, so I fixed the Terraria one but I can't do any more to the Mario Maker one.
So first of all, I need "Title (Super Mario Maker)" fixed with the following fixes:

• The page number is missing on the 2nd page.
• The copyright and website info is missing on the 2nd page.
• The "Pno." needs to be removed from the beginning of the staffs..
• The measure numbers need to be added.
• The the clefs on the 4th, 5th, and 6th staffs need to be moved apart some.

And it looks like Brawl4Ever had everything else pretty much in order.

Then for "Overworld - Day (Terraria)", it is just one thing that never carries over well in the .musicxml file.

• The staves just need to be moved apart.

Thanks in advance!

[Bobbythekid21]

Alright, so I got a bit impatient and as a result, I figured out how to fix my main problem: Staff Distance. I was messing around in the .musicxml file and I figured out how to change it so I got that fixed. But now I realized that the page numbers and mini-title didn't carry over, and I DID use Trasdegi's script and I can't seem to figure out how to get that fixed in the .musicxml file. so this is my UPDATED request.
"Title (Super Mario Maker)":

• The page number is missing on the 2nd page.
• The copyright and website info is missing on the 2nd page.
• The "Pno." needs to be removed from the beginning of the staffs..
• The measure numbers need to be added.
• The the clefs on the 4th, 5th, and 6th staffs need to be moved apart some.

And it looks like Brawl4Ever had everything else pretty much in order.

"Overworld - Day (Terraria)":

• Add Mini-Title
• Add page numbers
• fix some of the ties in the frist three measures, they need flipped.

Thanks in advance!

Went over the Super Mario Maker one for now since I have a free moment. Pasted it into a template to automatically fix most of the formatting errors...

There still remains some work to be done, just giving it a look, but most of the formatting should be ironed out for now.

Hi! My finale can't handle swing, so I was wondering if someone could apply swing to my entire piece? Just the normal quarter note-eighth note triplet swing, please. Thank you

Here you go, I updated the formatting as well as per the NSM guidelines~ (also, some of the stuff I posted on your thread remains to be adjusted)

"Overworld - Day (Terraria)":

• Add Mini-Title
• Add page numbers
• fix some of the ties in the frist three measures, they need flipped.

Bobby - this doesn't look like it's shared publicly
