And the shell explodes 1-2 seconds after the cue in the timeline 3) JY5-0378-GSW –> the effect is still a Ti-Willow and not the same as 3 and 4 inch Thank you very much 🙂 Oops, that was weird, but check them now.

Thank you Tim! I've synced with the network but I think something went wrong in some places: 1) PFX15FR-R, PFX15FR-V --> the duration of the cake slices are 14 seconds 2) JY4-0217 --> is listed now under 3 inch but it should be 4 inch I guess?

There are three shells (3, 4 and 5 inch) but I think the correct effect should be the JY3-0211-GSW. The JY4-0217 and JY5-0378-GSW they look more like Ti-willows. Is that correct? Is it correct, that the JY6-0273 is more a silver crown than a glittering willow? Sorry for the long list, Perfectionism takes over 😀 Thank you in advance! No problem, I appreciate the help.  I have updated the catalog, but will answer the questions here so you know what to expect: 1) The PFX13FR-30-2, SE170, PFX15FR-R, PFX15FR-V, TB439 heights have been adjusted to be more realistic to performance. 2) The PFX30CM-CH and RA141013 slightly underperform expectations so their sims are accurate for their heights. 3)  The JY6-0273, you are correct, looked more like a Silver Crown than a Silver Glittering Willow and that has been corrected. 4)  The sims for JY4-0217 and JY5-0378-GSW have been corrected. If you sync with the network the changes will be reflected.

Hi Brett, welcome to the Finale 3D community forum and thanks for posting!   Broadly speaking, I would say it really comes down to personal preference. There really aren't too many best practices to better facilitate easy future changes because Finale 3D provides features to promote efficiency in various workflows. Here are some examples:   — If your audio editing needs are basic, then you may decide importing individual songs into Finale 3D is the way to go. The exception would be Finale 3D Lite, which doesn't support audio editing. In Finale 3D Hobbyist and Pro, you can import multiple songs into the same show. You can also make separate shows with individual songs or segments and easily combine them using copy and paste. Video tutorial: Combining pyromusical shows using Copy and Paste.   — If your audio editing needs are more advance or you simply prefer creating your soundtrack outside of Finale 3D, there are still easy ways to make adjustments. You can add remove a song anywhere in your soundtrack using a 3rd party application, import your new soundtrack into Finale 3D, then easily re-align existing show segments using one of these scripting features: — Click + Drag (to move any number of selected events on the timeline simultaneously) — Script > Time adjustments > Set time... (to specify exact time for the first event in a set of selected events) — Script Time adjustments > Shift times... (to shift the times of all selected events by a specific amount)

Hello...   Just wondering if there are any best practices to utilize when scripting a show such that it makes it easier to make changes in the future?   Here is the scenario: I've scripted my entire show with three songs. A month a later I find a song that I think would better than one of the songs I already used and want to remove it and replace it with the new song but not have to re-script the entire show. (I would think this is easiest to do if it's the last song, but not the first or middle?)   For example, would it be better to to import each song individually instead of creating one mp3 file with all the songs in the same file?   Or can I create individual shows and then merge them into one show, giving me the ultimate flexibility? Is it even possible to merge multiple scripted shows into one show? If this is possible are there any disadvantages to doing it this way?   What other best practices should I be adhering to when scripting a show?   Thanks Brett

Hello Everyone. My name is Brett and I've been shooting back yard shows for the last 14 years. Just got into Pyro Musicals last year--don't know why I didn't embrace them sooner, it's incredibly addicting. Looking forward to learning more about Finale3D.

yes. my apologies.

I have thoroughly reviewed the available column in the Finale 3D Pro software, but I am still unsure if my current setup exceeds this limit or if it is correctly adding up the quantities. Could you please confirm whether my current design stays within the 200-device limit for the 360° Wheel? Any guidance or additional information you can provide would be greatly appreciated. best regards Alex   Hi Alex, I think your question is related to the PyroJam design competition. If that's right, would you mind posting your question as a reply to the Official PyroJam 2025 Discussion Topic?
