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?

JY6-0373 seems to be missing the strobing pistil in the simulation. NO-SS-25-15: No red visible in the simulation. NO-SS-25-17: No green visible in the simulation. NO-SS-30-38: No red visible in the simulation. Thank You Thanks for pointing these out.  The RSW shells have been fixed to match the NO-5-RSW effect which was the correct sim. The comets you mentioned have been fixed as well. JY6-0373 doesn't have a strobing pistil despite what China was supposed to build haha.  I have corrected the description.

Hi Tim, Thanks for the fix and update, changes are now reflected.

Is PSS93 (Blue Tiger Tail w/ Red Strobe Mine) sub type correct? it looks like a comet w/ mine to me, currently it is listed on the ss mine subtype. 2. Seems like JY4-0123 (Brocade Crown to Lemon) simulation is incorrect? current simulation looks like a brocade crown to multicolor. Thanks   Hi Jake, sorry for the delay, but I looked into these and you are correct.  These have been updated (subtype for the PSS93 and simulation for JY4-0123) and should show correctly once you sync with the network.

Thanks Hi Jake, I’ll check these when I get back to the office today.  On the road at the moment.  Thanks for your patience.
