Check out the Special Sort Terms documentation in the Finale 3D Help Center.

Thank you Drew…this is EXACTLY the info I was looking for. Somehow…I missed reading chapter 28 of addressing. I don’t know how, but I did.

Follow up question: The Custom Script Field can be used as a sorting qualifier. Can the Notes, Notes2, Notes3 fields be used in the same manner? If so…I can see some powerful custom sorting options…Read More

Hey AviatorRuss, thanks for the detailed and well-organized post, I appreciate your methodical approach!

Here are some preliminary answers to your questions:

#1. In Finale 3D Hobbyist and Pro, you can right click on a position, select Edit position properties, and use the Pre-Assigned Rails field to allocate specific rails (i.e. modules,…Read More

Awesome to hear!!! Thanks Drew

Hey Pyro_345290000,

Well said! Not only do we agree, we have been actively working on a major project that will allow users to more easily find and seamlessly share effects. I can’t give too many details yet, but I can assure you that one of the highest priorities of the project is effect sharing, in addition to a suite of related features to…Read More

Hey AviatorRuss, addressing blueprints are only available in Pro.

I’m really confident we can get dylan.paiva to a good place as soon as we get a bit more detail on where things aren’t working as desired.

Dylan,

Have you tried looking at this Addressing the show using blueprints

I don’t use this method of addressing, so I’m not sure if it is PRO level only, or can be done with HOBBYIST.

From your description, the sort order (i.e., order of assignment) that you’ve  chosen for addressing the show is Position Name > Cakes First > Event Time. With this configuration, the addressing process will go through the positions in alphabetical order. C-01 is your first position alphabetically, so this position will get module 1. Within each…Read More

I came on the forum looking for an answer to this question and appreciate the response from Drew.

I think the issue is there are so many fireworks out there and with new fireworks coming out every year, I don’t think it is humanly possible for the Finale Team to create the simulations in a timely manner. Currently I would estimate 99.9% of the…Read More

Hello, sorry for the delay, I have been running circles here recently.

1. Finale3D Hobbyist

2. The first line of positions is a cake line labeled C-01 to C-03, The back line is all artillery labeled P-01-09.

3. As of right now, I am using the following

1. Starfire

2. Position Name>Cake First>Event Time

3. Rack (Constraint)

Thank you…Read More

Thanks Drew appreciate it.

Hi Jonathan S.,

The method for setting font sizes in reports is different from the method for labels. The steps in the article you mentioned apply to reports, and are tailored to the Hobbyist version of Finale 3D. The same approach can be used in Pro, but it still only applies to reports, and since Pro offers full report customization, there…Read More

Thank you that’s very helpful.
