If I have already scored a piece in normal round notes, can I convert the entire piece to shape notes in one fell swoop?

Do you have to pick a shape every time you score a note? I.e, if I am writing in the key of C major, do I have to pick a "pyramid" shape every time I need a C, or can I just click on the "C" on the staff and the software automatically knows what shape to use? (It would be terribly tedious if I had to specify the shape for every note.)ģ. Does the PrintMusic version of Finale have the shape note font?Ģ. I have searched the forums for similar topics, but my specific questions were not answered.ġ. I was told that Finale has a shape note font, but I have some questions. I have a few singers that only know shape notes, e.g., "do-re-mi-fa-sol-la-ti-do," and the music I have given them in the past hasn't helped them too much. The last two years I directed, I used the free version of Finale Notepad to score the songs I did not have music for, in the arrangement I wanted them to sing.

I have directed the Christmas choir at our relatively small church for a few years now. Please excuse me if I don't use the proper terminology - I don't have much formal music training - just a few years of piano lessons when I was young. I am considering purchasing Finale PrintMusic, but I have a few questions. MakeMusic Forum > Public Forums > Finale - Windows - FORUM HAS MOVED! > Question about Finale PrintMusic and shape notes
