Who knows? You most certainly can, but it can get REALLY nasty depending on what you want to do.

jawoodruff Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 While you can create the notation for it, Finale does NOT provide a good audio rendering of it. So, it's always good to know what you have in mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeckelphoneNYC Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 Speaking of this, how does one get Sibelius 6 to play quarter tones? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MusicFiend Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 Just avoid quarter tones in everything you do, and you'll be fine. The world is a better place without them. :D 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeckelphoneNYC Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 :horrified: how can you say that???? I love microtonal music, actually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan-Peter Posted June 13, 2011 Author Share Posted June 13, 2011 A lot of composers don't use it right in my opinion. But if you listen to folkmusic of Turkey then they use it on a logical way. Thanks for your help! But I've made a mistake: I have Printmusic... Sorry! Can you do the same with printmusic? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maestrowick Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Great information. I don't compose using microtones; however, it's great to know how to do it in Finale 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
