Reply To: Clarifying how Finale uses “types/category” in My Effects?

Thanks NEC, Does Finale use the Sub-Type and/or Category type to determine the effect VDL? If I edit the sub-type to Willow from comet, will that effect the vdl?

Category and Sub-type are user definable.  I use Category to further define cakes ex:500G/350G/200G and sub-type in some scenarios to help with more refined filtering.  type is the only one that absolutely matters --> https://finale3d.com/documentation/why-is-type-so-important-what-depends-on-it-type/    

Clarifying how Finale uses “types/category” in My Effects?

I am working on reducing the number of duplicate items in My Effects. I am seeing 3 columns for classifng the effect: Category Type Sub-type Many of the effects have the same text in all 3 columns (i.e. cake, shell, comet) But there are also many that have the same text for Category and Type (cake) and the subtype is listed as an effect description (i.e. Peony, wave, willow, etc.) in lciuding "other"   How does Finale use these 3 classifications for sorting, VDL and presentation in the Design window?   Should the subtype use generic text like "cake", or should it be more descriptive of the effect?   Thanks Bryan

https://drive.google.com/file/d/17_xLer73DImiKt9tX9OgQo2mUBrw4fA6/view?usp=sharing How can I create an effect like this? I had tried red peony + green peony + yellow peony +blue peony to red peony + green peony + yellow peony +blue peony to red peony + green peony + yellow peony +blue peony to red peony + green peony + yellow peony +blue peony However I enter the VDL in this form, the software will start lagging and cannot draw the pattern that I want. Moreover, will finale have a new feature to save the new custom pattern in the list so the user doesn't need to re-draw it in next time?

Reply To: Trajectory Lines Missing?

Hi Drew, Thanks for the reply.  Yes it does seem to be a show specific problem and not the software version. Copying into a new show has resolved the issue.  I'll let you know if it is a recuring problem.  Richard.
