Last week I enjoyed a fine post on Philip Rothman’s Sibelius blog about the Duet Display app, which allows you to use an iPad as an additional screen for your Mac.
Tourette Syndrome, OCD, and Finale
A previous blog post introduced two rhythm pattern theory books, The Elements of Rhythm, Volumes I and II.
Chord Positioning and Alignment
Finale’s Selection Tool makes it easy to click and drag any chord into the right place. Sometimes, however, you need to move a lot of chords the same amount, or align all of your chords to appear uniform.
Deke Sharon, Pitch Perfect, and Finale
Finale watchers alerted me to this video interview with Deke Sharon, the “musical force behind NBC’s ‘The Sing Off’ and both ‘Pitch Perfect’ films.” Among the highlights is a cleverly-edited sequence where he sings each part of an a cappella arrangement (seen in Finale 2014), and both the audio and the video have been multi-tracked.

I have always assumed that top movies were translated into a handful of the most widely spoken languages.
