FINALE 2014 ADD INSTRUMENT FULL
Under Staff Settings for Selected Instrument, click on Full or Abbreviated Name, type in the keystroke the corresponds to the specific percussion symbol (see links below), and then change the font to “Finale Percussion”. If you know the keystroke for a particular Percussion symbol, you can also type it directly anywhere that text entry is supported in Finale, which includes the Expression Designer, a Staff Name or a Staff Style (Finale 2011 and earlier) or an Instrument or Instrument Change (Finale 2012 and later).įor instance, in Finale 2012 or later, to create a Percussion Instrument Name or Instrument Change pictograph / icon that shows a percussion symbol as the instrument name in a score, go into the Score Manager (CMND-K on Mac, CNTRL-K on Windows). The pictograph symbols can accessed directly from the Expression Selection Dialog (once entered). The current set of symbols / icons includes instruments, mallets and beaters:įinale supports this standard with its “Finale Percussion” font. Percussion pictographs are standardized graphical symbols used to represent percussion instruments in music scores. Percussion Pictographs were first proposed and developed at the International Conference on New Music Notation held at the University of Ghent in Belgium in 1974. I thought this would make an interesting tutorial, useful for worksheets and other specialty applications (like my kid’s choir project). The publisher requested that we use percussion pictographs instead of abbreviated text for the percussion instrument names after the first system: The percussion part, which was on three different instrument lines, needed to be as clear and readable as possible for the kids performing. I recently typeset a piece of music for children’s choir and percussion.
