Many thanks for the feedback Drew. I look forward to it being improved at some point in the future and in the meantime I'll continue to do what you suggest, sorting and deleting all the empty cues from the end of the script :-)

Hi Blackbat, thanks for posting. The first step is complete, I reproduced the behavior your described. I don't think we are intentionally preserving the empty cue markers when "W" or "Ctrl+Enter" are used to insert an effect. I'll take this down on our development list as an improvement but I can't say when we'll get to it. In the meantime, you can sort the script by clicking on the various column headers. This will bring all the empty cues to the top or bottom of the script, making them easy to find and mass-delete (as opposed to hunting through the script and deleting them individually). There's also no harm in leaving the empty cues behind, they are ignored when exporting firing system scripts.

Hi Sean,   Check out this post: https://finale3d.com/groups/english/forum/topic/finale-3d-feature-requests/page/2/#post-957824

Please could Drew/Will confirm if this behaviour is as expected?   I can add a cue to the timeline by pressing the "i" key. This creates a single blank cue in the script window, highlighted in yellow. If I then change the position selected in the design window by mouse clicking on a new position then the new cue in the script window is no longer highlighted. At this point if I add an effect to the position/cue by clicking a preview image in the effect window then the effect is added to the new blank cue. If however, rather than clicking on the image in the effect window and instead use "W" or "Control-Enter" to add the effect, then a new cue is created and I am left with a blank cue. Over the course of designing a large display I usually end up with a number of blank cues and end up having to go through and delete them afterwards. it would be great if W and Control-Enter add an effect to the new cue in the same way that clicking on the effect image does.

Hi All,   Was wondering what happened to Fans in the latest version of Finale 3D. Up to version 2021-11-17  it was very easy and straight forward to create effects such as parabolic curves. Now in the latest version there seems to be missing features such as the fan type aiming in to up among others.  

I like "completely and utterly blown away.". Sounds ominous.

Hello Pyros:   I'm Tom, from Indiana, USA.  Been obsessed with fireworks since I was a youngster, always helping to set them up and begging to light them at family gatherings.  Learned everything I need to know about firework safety from my dad and uncle - two brilliant engineers who studied risks and failures for a living.  "If it could happen...they had already thought of 3 ways to prevent it from happening."   I've setup and shot a few neighborhood shows, but we just bought 8 acres of flat land out in the middle of the counter where there aren't many rules. Plenty of testing ground (after polite convos with the 2 neighbors) to build and test new things.   My ultimate goal is simply to design pyromusicals for display companies to shoot.  I may get back into shooting, but if I do, it will be with Cobra equipment.

having trouble getting it to print at reasonable size, any tricks?

HOLA

Hi Pyro_67840000, thanks for including the video with your post, it helps me understand the issue perfectly. The reason your flames are static is because you need to update Finale 3D. You are running the latest "Full Release" from February 10th. Ordinarily, this would be fine. But in this case, the moving flames have not yet been fully released. To get moving flames, you need to update to the latest "Beta Release" from July 8th. You can get the latest beta release here: https://finale3d.com/download
