  • Plugin is now "part aware" and part-safe for versions of Finale that support part-aware plugins.
Patterson Plug-Ins v3.04 Nov. 25, 2006
  • Plugins are now "part aware" and part-safe for versions of Finale that support part-aware plugins.
  • Add Blank Pages works correctly in Finale 2007 (in Score View only) even when orphaned blank pages exist in the document. The user has the option to remove or keep orphaned blank pages, if there are any.
  • Beam Over Barline issues a warning when Scale Manual Positioning of Notes is checked in the Document Options/Notes & Rests options. This option effectively prevents correct alignment of the beamed-over notes. I believe the option exists only as a compatibility option for Finale files from versions pre-1993 (pre-Finale 3.0).
  • Force Full Names now recognizes its staff styles by name only. This allows you to edit the first one once and then reuse it each time you invoke the plugin in the file. The previous version required you to edit them each time because it created a new staff style if you had edited the previous one.
Copyist's Helper v2.03 Oct. 23, 2006
  • Fixed problem detecting correct clef when Display In Concert Pitch is set for instruments with clef-based transposition. Versions of Finale before Finale 2007 do not exhibit the problem.
