Don't know if this the right thread... but how do I add this metronome marking?
Concerning medleys... does every song need it's individual tempo marking?

[Deku Trombonist]

I think I wrote something about this in a previous thread somwhere.

Yup, found it.

Btw, You know you can actually create tempo markings that play back correctly as opposed to just text boxes?
In the expressions pop up box, go click on Tempo Markings on the list on the left. Then click the create tempo marking button that has appeared somewhere on the tight side. Then it's pretty self explanatory.
Insert Note, lets you insert a note, the Tempo tab at the top lets you control playback (just tick the one that says to match the text or something like that).

If two successive songs have the same tempo, you don't need to rewrite the tempo for the second song but for every song that has a different tempo to the previous one, then yes it does need an individual tempo marking.

Alright thanks.

This is just a suggestion: It would be great (at least for me) if there would be a deadline, that way I know when the update will take place.

[Deku Trombonist]

I'd like there to be a weekly deadline but for that, I think there needs to be a steady stream of good arrangements. Also, I have end of school exams in 2 weeks so I can't necessarily promise that I will be able to keep to a deadline for the moment.

[dahans]

Alright! When will this update take place?

[Deku Trombonist]

When we get some submissions Ideally, I'd like each update to have at least 15 songs (20 would be preferable) but if I end up waiting to long, then I guess it doesn't really matter.

Another question: I have downloaded finale 2011. Is that a problem? Since most of the members haven't updated their finale readers yet.

I just downloaded Finale Reader 2011 yesterday, so I won't have a problem, but we could have someone with an earlier version test it for you, I guess.

Here. Allegro should make it easier =__=

I can't think why there'd be a problem. Commander6 has already submitted a couple of sheets in Finale 2011.

[Deku Trombonist]

Can no-one read? It quite clearly says that you post all questions here or via pm,  NOT IN THE SUBMISSION TOPIC.

I think it would be really great if there would be a deadline... Is that possible?^^

As for deadlines, not for the moment. I'm busy with exams and revision up until the 17th of November so I can't guarantee when I'll have time to look through submisisons or to do the update. But I seem to be averaging about 10 or so days between updates. After exams, I'll set a proper deadline.

[Deku Trombonist]

Nevermind the previous post, we now have a deadline system.

The Deadline For Submissions Is 10 Days After The Topic Is Made.
(That gives 3 updates a month which seem pretty good to me)

I changed the topic title for the submissions topic to match this.

[dahans]

Alright! That's a very good idea, Deku! Thanks a bunch!

[dahans]

Sorry for doubleposting:

The version I currently use is finale (full) 2009. And when I try to create a tempo marking I cannot find the "insert note" button... What shall I do?
