Created by Dallas Jenkins, the popular Christian Series is set in Judaea and Galilee in the 1st century and follows the life and ministry of Jesus of Nazareth and the people who met and interacted with him. Jonathan Roumie plays Jesus Christ, while Shahar Isaac, Elizabeth Tabish, Paras Patel, Noah James, George H. Xanthis, and others also star.
Season 4 of The Chosen debuted in theaters in February and March. The show received an extended theatrical release at a discounted rate before the Easter holiday amid pending legal issues that prevented the series from being released on streaming. Months later, Jenkins finally announced when the show would start releasing Season 4 episodes on streaming.
Over the past four weeks, two new episodes of Season 4 have dropped every Sunday and Thursday. The finale was initially scheduled to premiere on June 27, 2024, but fans will now have to wait slightly longer to see how the season ends.
If a staff is not needed for a whole cue, I will hide it. I never delete them, as I may need to add something later or insert the cue into another one, so it is important that each score has the same number of staves, even if some are hidden. My scores also contain the sketch, which I do not want to show in page view. The solution is another staff style that forces the staff to hide, even when it has notes.
I do not like the look of the other program. The default settings have a few really silly things in them and most people leave them. For example the parenthesized cautionary accidentals it puts on tied notes over system breaks and magnetic layout can screw up and move things to the wrong place. Finale can look bad too, but it is way more flexible.
I started with finale and have never used the other one, have not felt the need.
Hi Tim, that was the first thing I tried, but hides the whole name, including the number. Were do you use the short cut? When you click on the staff name on the score or in the score manager? Thanks for your time.
Highlight just the part of the text you want to hide (in this case the instrument name itself, not the number) while in the staff attribute dialog, while editing the full staff name and abbreviated staff name. Then press ctrl+h or cmd+h in mac while highlighting the instrument name, but NOT highlighting the instrument number. This leaves the name in for the copyist, but leaves the name out for the printed score.
Been working through a few of these. Some taking me ages to do, mainly creating + naming the groups then renaming the individual instruments to have hidden text but visible number. Any advice for how to speed this up?
to print,or get get you parts out of the music score on Finale (Windows Version ) go to,FILE,upper left corner,click it,go to export,this will put you parts out of the score.Than you can click on print if you want to print the parts !!!
Very interesting approach with regards to extra staff and using optimization to hide them when not used. Have you found a way to have one template that you can quickly and easily adjust the instrumentation for a given project or cue or do you use several different templates instead? Or perhaps you use the Document wizard and apply document style? But then I guess that would not have all you hidden staves and other customized items.
I update the template for each project. I start with the previous one so any improvements I have made appear in the next project. I never use the document wizard. Due to all my quickeys and needing to make everything act in a very predictable way, I always make any changes manually.
A project may have several templates for different size orchestras. We often use Large, Medium and Small sized bands as not every cue needs full woods or brass etc. I will post a template one day soon.
We have a new "Top Chef!" That's something to celebrate. Danny is the first, as he put it, "Puerto Rican-Dominican-Muslim winner" and he walks away with over $300,000, staggeringly enough, which I do believe is the most any cheftestant has ever won.
I think after two back-to-back Buddha-led seasons, in which he was ostensibly the clear frontrunner for two years straight, this season may have sort of thrown the editors for a loop. I remember after "Top Chef: Texas," when Colicchio said that eventual winner Paul Qui was so far ahead of everyone else that both production and the judges' kind of had to tamper his amazing showing down in order to make the show feel competitive, but I don't think that was the case here. Danny wasn't leagues and leagues ahead of Dan and Savannah, which further complicates and confuses all the more, unfortunately muddying what should be a celebratory, jovial winning moment.
There's a difference between misdirection and outright misleading edits. It's never appealing to be fooled, if you will. To be honest, it felt like a bit of a bait-and-switch between Dan and Danny, actually. And for me, who rooted more for Savannah than I have for any cheftestant on this show in a very long while, I was doubly disappointed because she had so clearly come in third place.
Tom himself has even taken to Twitter/X to vociferously defend the win. (This isn't entirely a rarity; I remember some comments from him after last year's finale, too. I think he stays pretty mum on Twitter until the entire season concludes.) What was most interesting was his concurring with random Twitter/X users that the edit was less than ideal, to put it lightly. He also reiterates just how much the judges truly disliked Dan's first course, which again makes me wonder: Had he not cooked that tuna that way, would we have had a different winner?
I guess one could argue that while Dan's menu on the whole was more consistent, Danny may have had higher highs? But I don't even know if that rings true, especially with his under-seasoned first course and his under-cooked lobster in the third. I thought Dan's third course, with the oxtail, was probably the highest-rated dish overall (for me, too, at least in terms of how it looked and sounded), though I guess Danny's dessert probably also came close. Tom really had a winning quote for it, too: "What I liked about this dessert is why I love food." And you really can't argue with that one, can you?
Danny's dishes may have had more flaws, but from a conceptual perspective, the judges may have deemed them more impressive or successful. The finale's coming down to two men named Dan(ny) was somewhat reminiscent of American Idol 7 when the final two were David Archuleta and David Cook.
I also didn't know until literally this moment that Danny is a fellow New Jersey native, who graduated from Freehold High in 2010. You learn something every day! I wonder if he's the first winner from New Jersey?
I loved Danny's throughline of "first, significant food memories." His lobster dish with squash, persimmon, chaaza and salsa matcha was inspired, as was his dessert, which conjured images of "an eight year old kid walking through the city" with a simple treat.
Also, just like in the prior episode, Danny's proclivity for lemon (in this case, a relish) seemed to really come in the clutch after Manny accidentally used all of the cantaloupe for juice and they weren't able to make compressed balls for the dessert. Also, I fondly thought back to his love for carrots; it would've been fun to see more carrot in his finale menu!
I loved seeing Kristen, Savannah and Gail get a bit teary at the breakfast. Succeeding in such a way on "Top Chef" is truly a significant moment that could vastly impact a career, so I like seeing that so clearly acknowledged. Lastly, it was so cool to see everyone's legitimate awe and respect for Emeril.
I will also note that I found it odd that no one picked Laura or Soo as a sous? Laura is so meticulous and Soo was clearly very talented. I knew Dan would go for Amanda, but peculiar picks otherwise.
I liked how in the breakfast scene, Dan talked about making the most out of his elevated platform and talking more about what he cares about, "making a difference beyond just food" and spreading awareness about Kennedy's. His note that he loves cooking "but also advocacy" was so telling for what he'll be able to bring to the industry and to those afflicted (and also those unafflicted) with Kennedy's or other mobility-impacting ailments.
As he told me a few weeks back, he "always wanted to challenge" himself (he tried out for the show eleven times!) and also "inspire differently-abled people on this national scale." And he did that and then some.
I usually like the loftiness and weight of the prompt of "make the best meal of your lives" in a finale, but I immediately did think about how Savannah noted in a recent episode that she performs better with more limiting circumstances. Unfortunately, this hunch did play out as anticipated.
Also, for me, the entire second half of the season was literally "The Savannah Show": I felt as though her sheer amount of screentime, her multitude of confessionals and her barrage of winner-adjacent quotes all would inevitably lead up to a victorious conclusion to her story, and I feel a bit robbed that ultimately, her finale performance was anything but. What was the payoff in giving her such a redemptive, "I've found my voice" storyline only for it to falter at the end?
I liked the idea of Marcona almonds and marinated, gossamer slices of red grapes in her pasta course, but alas, it wasn't enough to counteract the less-than-ideal pasta and the overcooked lobster inside. Gail's comment about that course was so damning in an almost uncharacteristic way. There was no coming back after that. Also, Kristen really did her predecessor proud when she asked Savannah "...do you make a lot of pasta?"
At the same time, though, I loved seeing the incisive takes on her food and approach. When guest judge Justin Pichetrungsi said she "has a kindhearted style about her food" that helped sum up some of her hard-to-pin-down allure. I loved her ending quotes that she looks at herself differently now, feels more confident and more willing to take chances.
