OK, so I'm tired of making a new topic for every question I have.

1 What's the difference between C minor and E flat major?

EDIT: Forget question 2. I screwed something up on my sheet.

Same key signature, Eb Major starts on Eb and C minor starts on C.

Oh, that makes sense. Thanks!

Also, it depends on if the music sounds harmonic or major. Have you done theory, Ragster?

Yeah, that's probably a good idea not to. I get confused VERY easily. :P Thanks though!

I'll probably take a music class my sophomore year. I do need to work on it a lot.

Hey, is there a Guiro on Finale?

1) When notating percussion, there isn't a "Written in Stone" place on a staff for things like that-you kinda just write the instrument name above or near the rhythm.

2) I have found that sound on a pitched percussion staff by clicking and holding on middle "C" then dragging it up and down. I've seen "Guiro Long" and "Guiro Short".

K this is going to sound really stupid, but what is it called when you play a note lightly, and then quickly move to a different note all within the second note's value. It'd be like going from B to C where the C is an eighth note, and both notes put together still only account for an eighth note's value. An ornament? It's not a trill, it's something else.

EDIT: A rolled dyad perhaps? Idk.

And then, if you were able to interpret that and know what it is, how do you make it on Finale?

Yes! Thanks so much. Apparently Ctrl + G is a hotkey for that as well

yes that selects the grace note tool. alternatively, you could highlight a note in simple entry and press Ctrl+Alt+G to make the highlighted note a grace note.
