How To Make A Full Score Publishable (Advanced Finale)

SUBSCRIBE to get more great tutorials: https://bit.ly/2HhlxBR This is a moderately advanced tutorial in both Finale techniques and in the actions needed to convert a notation-produced score into something that has a professional appearance, suitable for printing or publication. While the techniques demonstrated here are in the Finale (r) notation program, the concerts are applicable for any notation program. While this tutorial uses a Concert Band score as its subject, the techniques illustrated here are applicable to any type of score. This video covers this procedure in three main sections: 1. Adjusting and Balancing the number of measures per page. 2. Adjusting system margins on each page so as to avoid large and unbalanced sections of white space on any page. 3. Meticulous editing of each page to ensure maximum readability, specifically as regards to collision avoidance between notes, dynamic markings, phrase markings, text markings, etc. In addition to demonstrating these techniques, this tutorial also covers several operational techniques you can use in your own Finale editing. All these techniques are shown in a Windows environment, with the associated shortcut keystrokes for that system. There are (or should be) equivalent shortcut keystrokes in the Mac version of Finale, but you'll need to look those up yourself. It should help, however, to know that they do exist. This video is required study for anyone wishing to submit a manuscript to SilverClefMusic.com for publication.
