#Finale printmusic opening finale notebook files portable#It just seems that if you had a quick method of doing this using an MP3 that it would be the most portable solution and would apply to anything you'd want to work with. Not to mention, by the time the Songwriter 2010 version was released I'd already bought BIAB thinking it could do the job. However, these products don't seem to do a very good job of capturing and notating MIDI - at least not from my wind controller. By the time I do that, I could have just bought PrintMusic for the same money. #Finale printmusic opening finale notebook files upgrade#Now they've released Songwriter 2010 but they don't have an upgrade path from 2007 (even though there's one for Notepad) - you just have to buy it full price. I bought Songwriter just to work with his Finale files in mid 2009, so that was shipped as the 2007 version - which won't open/read later versions. The composer uses Finale and he's given me a couple of those files to work with, but his version is 2008 or later. What's ACW - something chord wizard? Is that in BIAB or RB? Are you talking about importing an MP3 here? He doesn't mind giving them to me, but he's so busy he never gets around to packing up the MIDI's and emailing them to me. I've been trying to get the MIDI's from the composer, but no luck yet. Sometimes a phrase is left out, the key is changed, or an intro or ending is modified. Thanks for info and quick reply! These are custom arrangements of popular contemporary Christian music. #59311 - 02/06/10 06:48 PM Re: CREATING A LEADSHEET FROM AN MP3 & ADDING NOTATION FOR A SOLO I have an AKAI EWI4000S wind controller, a couple of soundbanks (Yamaha VL-70M & Roland XV-2020), a small mixer (UB802), and a Zoom H4. Can somebody provide some guidance on the best way to solve my problem? I'm running BIAB 2009.5, along with RB and the other bits and pieces you get for around $100. I originally tried getting the rehearsal Finale docs and opening them with Songwriter thinking that I could do something with the MIDI and melody lines from it, but that doesn't work because Songwriter won't open Finale files. I also want to be able to work on (edit) specific passages and try different things until I get the phrase I want to use as part of the final recording and printed sheet music. However, I don't understand how this will translate to printed music with the correct time sig/beat/note/measure notation. Maybe I'm going about this the hard way, and it would be simpler to just listen to the MP3 while recording a MIDI solo track. Furthermore, when I try to put the Real Band created output (from MP3 to MIDI conversion) in BIAB lots of the chords I had entered/edited disappear. For some reason, the resulting audio and notation don't seem to match up during playback - like the chord changes occuring on the display are out of sync with what you hear in the audio. This means I end up editing the converted output to the point that it takes almost as long as just entering it from scratch, copying from my rehearsal printout. There appear to be many ways to try and import or convert an MP3 to MIDI that will generate chord notation, but the output is often radically different than the printed rehearsal leadsheet - and of course the melody line isn't shown. The notation produced could be its own printed output, or somehow shown along with a leadsheet printout. What I want to do is adlib along with the MP3 and record my MIDI output to create music notation. For the music I work with, I can get rehearsal printed band leadsheets (Finale chord notation with melody and lyrics) and an MP3, but not a MIDI file. I thought that what I want to do is pretty simple, but maybe not. ![]() Even searching the forums returns so much data I can't sift through it all. There are way too many options, switches, settings, and methods for either BIAB or RB for me to figure this out for myself. ![]()
