Is there any way to do the following? Regarding score, and printing.

Hello,
My name is Kyle, and I just started using GarageBand. I have been a Mac user for quite some time, and I just recently purchased the Jam Packs. I have been a composer for about 5 years, and I am really interested in electronic music and the possibilities that it has. GarageBand seems to be a great program, and considering it is a program that is standard on Macs now makes a lot of wonderful technology available to the general public.
I have started using GarageBand to help me with some of my compositions, buy using the software instruments and improvising, to give me an idea of what some chordal structures sound like, and how I could interwieve some of the parts together. Is there any way to view the full score? I know that you can view the notes in note view, but is there any way to select multiple parts and view the score of the parts? This is something that I don't see, and I think it would be very helpful to view it as a full score, while also having the ability to do a single instrument input.
Also, I was wondering if there was any way to print the notation for each part? Also, this would be helpful from score view. I use Finale 2007 for my notation for compositions, and sometimes Sibelius 4. I would like to transfer some of the stuff that I have played into Finale, so that I can do a little more editing, and incorperate it into a piece. I don't want to have GarageBand open, and read it note for note. I don't think there is any way to export them either, so that Finale or Sibelius could read the notes and rhythms. Am I asking for too much from a program that is essentially free with my system? I just see a lot of potential for the program, and I know most of my friends who are also composition majors are Mac users. I think this could be easily fixed, if these things aren't available already. If anyone knows anything about this, or has any suggestions, please let me know, as this is something I would like to use more as a tool, and I feel has a lot more potential to grow into an even better program.

Thank you. I have heard of Logic Pro 7, but I have never personally used it. I'm still growing in the world of Composition, and I know that it is something I will be studying in one of my Computer Music classes coming up for my degree. I think it is something I will look into getting once I can justify the price of it. I guess for the time being, I will continue to play and grow in my ability to use and take advantage of GB, and then see what I can do about or with Logic Pro when I'm ready. The thought of spending $1000 for a program is hard to bite, because I've already spent a lot to produce my music, not only electronic music, but also chamber music and so on. I had no idea it would be so expensive to dive deep into the world of composition! lol.
Finale 2007: $500
Sibelius 4: $500
Jam Packs: $400
Midi Keyboard Interface: $100
PowerBook: $1700
Printer for printing scores and analysis: $150
Logic Pro 7: Oy!
As you can see it adds up very quickly...that doesn't even include my personal instruments and study materials.
Thank you for your input, as I haven't really worked much with LP, and therefore didn't know which features are available. I will talk with some of my Composition buddies, and professors and see what they have to say as well, and who knows, I may be able to get the express version through one of them.

  • Is there any way to force the following initial view...

    ..."fit to page" + "two pages per screen - but only if there's room for two"?
    In other words, I want the page to fit in the screen upon initial view, but I also see a lot of wasted real estate all around that could, most of the time, fit a second page. However, I don't want the two pages to count against the "fit" -- meaning, on narrower screens, the priority should go to fitting the first page (and not showing the 2nd) rather than fit both pages at all costs.
    Is there any way to ask Acrobat to do this?

    The initial view (IV) settings within a PDF file are static tags - they can't be made to dynamically-adapt based on the window dimensions,it's the renderer (Acrobat, Reader, or whatever else is opening the file) that decides if and how it will follow the IV requested by the file header.
    It would be possible to use a Page Open action on the first page of the file, which does some nasty math with the various doc.*WindowRect objects to work out how much "wasted" space there is, and then set the doc.layout and doc.zoomType properties - but page actions are a different concept to IV as the zoom will reset itself every time that page is viewed. Users don't like their application apparently fiddling with the zoom level without being told to!

  • Is there any way to remove the see-through grayscreen and the 8-dotted circle whenever mozilla loads a html5(.webm) video?

    When i watch an embed .webm in the innate html5 player, every time i try to forward or rewind the movie it puts up the grayscreen+loading icon(even tho the movie was fully preloaded).
    Its especially annoying when you need to watch the movie frame by frame and loading grayscreen darkens it so that you can see alot of less details :/
    Is there any way of removing that gray whatever?

    Your original question was:
    When i watch an embed .webm in the innate html5 player, every time i try to forward or rewind the movie it puts up the grayscreen+loading icon(even tho the movie was fully preloaded).
    Could you post a link to a web page where you see this problem?
    I couldn't find a test page for an embedded HTML5 webm video but I found this link to a webm file:
    *http://clips.vorwaerts-gmbh.de/big_buck_bunny.webm
    The above webm file link is from this test page:
    *http://camendesign.com/code/video_for_everybody/test.html
    (The embedded video on that page is actually a mp4 file). That test page is linked from the Mozilla Support article, [[Viewing HTML5 audio and video in Firefox]].
    I have no problem using the slider to forward or back up video playback in either the embedded HTML5 mp4 video or the webm video linked above.

  • Is there any way to retreive the FileName in the mapping

    Is there any way to retreive the FileName and so that I can use that in my mapping. This is FILE2RFC scenario with NO BPM.
       I am using the adapter specific message attributes in the file sender CC.
    Thanks,

    null

    Yes you can retreive it.  Create an simple user defined function in the mapping and use the following code.
    Imports: com.sap.aii.mapping.api.*;
    Parameter: String filename
    Paramter: String filename;
    filename = fileName + ".DAT";
    DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) container
    .getTransformationParameters()
    .get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
    DynamicConfigurationKey key = DynamicConfigurationKey.create( "http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File", "FileName");
    conf.put(key, filename);
    return filename;
    Or
    Just do whatever mentioned in this weblog:

  • Is there any way to specify the default version of LabVIEW?

    I have a sinking feeling that the answer to this question is "no."  With more than one version installed, is there any way to set the default LabVIEW version for opening a VI? I have both 7.1 and 8 installed, and usually only use 8 to open an example or look at something posted here.  When I do that, it resets all the OS hooks so that the default action for opening a VI is to open it in version 8.  I've even gone so far as to create actions to open files in 7.1 and 8, but it always resets my default action.
    I found this KB article for when version 7 came out, but it's suggestions don't seem to work with 7 and 8.
    Ugh. I hate it when software thinks it knows what I want better than I do.

    Add
    in the LabVIEW.ini file of those versions you do not want to rewrite
    the registry on startup to point to themselves for VI files, the
    following:
    RegisterExtensions=False
    Of course the VersionChooser utility mentioned earlier is even more convinient.

  • Ok so I cant open my Itunes due to Windows Error 2 and the message says to uninstall and re-install Itunes but I'm pretty sure that would wipe the library right? Is there any way to fix the problem and keep my library?

    Ok so I cant open my Itunes due to Windows Error 2 and the message says to uninstall and re-install Itunes but I'm pretty sure that would wipe the library right? Is there any way to fix the problem and keep my library?

    Hi neffn!
    I have an article for you that can help you go through that process of uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes. If you have Windows 7, you will want to see this article:
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1923
    and if you are using Windows XP, you will want to reference this article:
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1925
    Note that, as it says in those articles:
    iTunes Store purchases or songs imported from CDs are saved in your My Music folder by default and are not deleted by removing iTunes. While it is highly unlikely that you will lose any contents of your iTunes Library when following these steps, it is always a good idea to ensure that your iTunes library is backed up. If you're unsure how to backup, see iTunes: Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive.
    Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. Have a good one!

  • Is there any way to change the label of my VO attributes

    hi ,
    Is there any way to change the label of my VO attributes so that it will have more logical presentation
    Thanks
    Musahib

    Hello Alex,
    I 've just checked my webbeans and the COLUMN_NAME_LABEL property is not use by the EditCurrentRecord, FindForm and RowsetBrowser webbeans.
    I had the following line to my custom EditCurrentRecord, FindForm and RowSetBrowser.
    So I can set Column display name ones for each webbeans.
    It's better than do it with different methods for each webbeans!!!!
    if((String)qView.getProperty(attrs[attrNo].getColumnName() + "_LABEL") != null)
    rField.setPromptText((String)qView.getProperty(attrs[attrNo].getColumnName() + "_LABEL"));
    In the ViewCurrentRecord something was done but with errors. Oracle Developers used getName() method instead of getColumnName()!!! So I rewrite it.
    if((String)qView.getProperty(attrs[attrNo].getName() + "_LABEL") != null)
    sHeader = (String)qView.getProperty(attrs[attrNo].getName() + "_LABEL");
    Hope this will help!
    Email if you need more.

  • Is there any way to convert the ImportObject into an image file ?

    I have converted a FM document into MIF file format. FM has a grapic imported by copying into the document. In the MIF file I can see the image like the following,

    Is there any way to convert the ImportObject inside the mif file into an image file ?

    Error 7103,
    Regarding Note A and Note B... The Downsample dropdowns list three variations of Downsampling TO, each corresponding to a different downsampling method. When you select one of the Downsampling TO options, then the pixels per inch box allow you to specify the dpi of the downsampled image, the one after the downsampling.
    When you select Off, which means do NOT downsample, then the pixels per inch box is meaningless. Maybe it would be a nice interface feature to disable it, but that is another issue. In any event, OFF ignores any value in pixels per inch.
    Whenever you import an image into your publishing program (FrameMaker, InDesign, or whatever) and scale it, one can think of the scaled image as having a physical dpi, the number of pixels per physical inch on the "paper." When you specify downsampling in Distiller, the number you specify is most likely less than the physical dpi of the image in the document. It is probably meaningless to specify a number that is larger. I am guessing (and this is a guess) that Distiller does not UPsample images. I have never tested it.
    I use 1200 for image recovery.
    I assume you are talking about recoverying an image embedded in (copied into) the publishing document. I believe it is sufficient simply to turn downsampling off to create a PDF with the image at the resolution as embedded in the document.
    No, one of the settings is to Determine Automatically, which uses the resolution of the image IN the PDF.
    Where is that found?
    It is NOT in Distiller. It is in Acrobat Professional. (It may or may not be in Acrobat Standard or Acrobat Reader; I do not have them, so do not know.)
    The original poster wanted to recover an image copied into a Frame document file. My method is to create a PDF using a Distiller joboption with ALL downsampling and ALL compression OFF. Presumably the image is put into the PDF with all the pixels it has in the Frame file.
    THEN in Acrobat PROFESSIONAL, export the image with the setting Determine Automatically. I am presuming (never tested it) this exports ALL the pixels that the image has in the PDF file.

  • Is there any way to force the applet to load the file without using cache?

    Hi,
    I have the applet that renders some data from a file specified as the parameter. The problem is that the user can do something, that changes the input file and reloads the page, but the applet renders old data (from browser cache most probably)
    Is there any way to force the applet to load the file without using cache?

  • Is there any way to put the values inthe system matrix which is non editabl

    is there any way to put the values inthe system matrix which is non editable...
    this Q is not that much priority since i had achieved the requirement other way round by having user defined matrix ... but if i get the way for this it will help my add on performance much better...

    Hi Raj, I didnt get all the details but here some ideas how you can solve your issue:
    Depending in the system form you are working you can always use a DBDataSource in order to manipulate the rows in a matrix. It's much better as using the objects of the matrix itself. In this case you can use:
    oMatrix.FlushToDataSource()
    oDBDsource.SetValue("U_Quan", pVal.Row, "101")
    oMatrix.Clear()
    oMatrix.LoadFromDataSource()
    As you can see in SetValue i'm obtaining the Column, then the row number and then setting a NEW value for this cell.
    Please consider if you can use DBDataSource instead of UserDataSource.
    If the answer is yes then you can use the following:
    oMatrix.FlushToDataSource()
    '//Get the line you want
    matrix.GetLineData(pval.row)
    '//Call the Userdatasource assigned to that column
    UserDataSource = UserDataSources.Item("ItmCode")
    '//Set the new value
    m_UserDS.ValueEx = "A02520"
    oMatrix.LoadFromDataSource()
    You can also use:
    oMatrix.Columns.Item("ItemName").Cells.Item(l_rownum).Specific.String = "A02520"
    In case you are not assigning the string in a combobox of course.
    Good luck!
