Screenshot. Options ♦ work on: specify the intervals that should be turned into harmonics. All violin harmonics is currently set to thirds, fourths, fifths, and sixths; all theoretical harmonics are all harmonics that can be played on an empty string. ♦ overwrite existing notehead alterations: check this option only if you need to re- process existing harmonics – possibly to prepare them for playback or to change the diamond character. ♦ prepare for correct playback: this should always be checked, since it can do no harm. You will here the correct sounding pitches upon playing back the music. ♦ diamond character number: this defaults to 79 for compatibility with Xxxxxxxx, but if you’re using Engraver or other newer fonts, try 225 which is a more beautiful one. You can differentiate between black and white noteheads, though by default a white diamond is added to all note durations. ♦ add sounding pitch, size 60%: check this to have the sounding pitch added as a small note and specify the size percentage for it. ♦ parenthesize: check this to parenthesize the small note that’s added as the sounding pitch. You can customize these with the Parentheses button. See end of this volume. Beam Breaker This tool has two functions: breaking primary and breaking secondary beams. • Breaking primary beams helps you to unbeam rests, and to break up long beam groups on the beats, especially when shorter notes are involved (16th and smaller). • Break secondary beams to make beamed rhythms clearer. Your piece nomally needs 16th-notes triplets or shorter durations for the effect to be seen. In many cases, the settings need not be altered. Breaking Primary Beams >>> This music was set to a ¾ time signature equivalent to a dotted half note so that Finale beams the whole measure as one group. Beam Breaker will break the beam group on the beats in those measures where appropriate, depending on the options that you choose. Breaking Secondary Beams - Example 1 This example illustrates the main purpose of this plug-in: there are many secondary beams to break here. Note that this music has Finale’s document option “Include rests in beam groups” on. becomes:
Screenshot. The options dialog currently looks much different on the Mac, and many of the "break into" options are not included since they are almost never used. They will be added later. Options Explanations of the most important secondary beam breaker options: ♦ break groups of beamed notes whose total duration corresponds to X into y parts: here you specify whether, say, quarter notes are divided into two or three or any other number of groups. See Breaking into two or three above. ♦ break • groups of four notes in two: check this if you even want to subdivide, say, four subsequent 16th notes into two groups. • all secondary beams in each case: normally unchecked – TGTools intelligently determines the number of secondary beams to break. However, if you always want to break all secondary beams, then check this option. It's only relevant when you have 32nd or shorter notes. • tuplets of X into a+b+c+d+e: this rarely used option (currently available on Windows only) provides for custom subdividing of X-tuplets. ♦ remove existing secondary beam breaks: when this option is checked, TGTools start the breaking of secondary beams all over, so that no existing breaks can confuse them. ♦ rests are included in beam groups: it is important to check this option if and only if you also checked the option in Finale's document options. If this is not checked, TGTools have to break the first and only beam in some cases where rests are part of a complex rhythm. ♦ simplify beamed rests: see Example 2 Tremolo This plug-in facilitates tremolo notation. First, the music is entered so that it fits into the measures without tremolo. TGTools then convert all two consecutive identical pitches into a tremolo. The tremolo’s note durations are doubled: becomes: Some options enable fine-tuning tremolo notation (such as the number of beams). If you want to convert a specific pair of notes or chords within a measure, use Finale’s option Partial Measure Selection (Finale 2000: in the Edit menu). Now any pair of notes regardless of their duration can be selected before invoking the plug-in. Respell Notes This plug-in will remove double sharps and flats, and will try to optimize the melodic enharmonic spelling to avoid augmented or diminished intervals. There are no options yet, but it will be enhanced to allow for various spelling philosophies. Accidentals This command is used to add accidentals according to various options. It is aimed mainly at 20th century music where almost all notes have a...
