Every now and then, you’ll run across a musical situation for which there’s no standard notation. Maybe you’ll want to insert a diagram into your score for harp pedaling, or musical-theatre staging, or an unusual instrument posture. For those situations, as well as for modern, alternative-notation scores, Finale has a built-in drawing program called the Shape Designer. You visited the Shape Designer in the previous tutorial, but this time you’ll really find out what it can do.
To acquaint you with its features, in this exercise you’ll create a special diagram as part of a note to your flutist.
At the top of the window are twelve drawing tools.
Let’s say that you want a special effect—you want the flute rotated 90 degrees and played vertically.
In the steps below, the units shown in the H: (horizontal coordinate) and V: (vertical coordinate) text boxes are measured in points (72 per inch).
In the next step, you’ll create a curved arrow to indicate that you want a rotation.
To change its line thickness, click the line once and then, from the Shape Designer menu, choose Line Thickness and then select a different thickness.
Next, you’ll add an arrowhead to the curve.
If you want to preserve the spatial relationship between the curve and the rectangle, you can group them into a single unit. With the Selection Tool, click one object, then -click the other. From the Shape Designer menu, choose Group. From now on, these two objects will be locked together as though they’re a single object—until you choose Ungroup from the Shape Designer menu, of course.
As a final step, make a textual notation to the hapless flutist:
You may not have much everyday need for the vertical-flute shape you just drew. But the Shape Designer will come in handy for creating doits, harp diagrams, enclosures, logos, and other special notational cases. For more information on using the Shape Designer, see Shape Designer in the User Manual.
In this section you’ll learn to use some of Finale’s most powerful scoring and notation tools.
