>Johannes: >You should consider using System reduction instead of page >reduction. Page reduction will always change the position of >textblocks on the page depending on the reduction value. not when the page reduction size is the same for score and parts and system reduction is used _only_ in the score. i often have to reposition title page text blocks in parts in any case. also: . when generating files through the setup wizard, the page reduction is set automatically according to the number of instruments vs. page size. using fixed point sizes for title page and page number text blocks should be used in such a context. . when a 'redefine pages' is done, all system reductions are reset to 100% and the page reduction to a default which can be set by the user in the "page format for score" options. . by your system, i would have to reset the *system* % reduction to my preference AFTER extracting parts [and for EACH part!], task which is completely avoided by my present method. i don't have that kind of time to lose 8^) my point relates to the sizes of text etc across scores and parts and between different scores/projects. it really isn't enough of a concern of mine how someone else "pronounces pa-tait-er" to argue the point; i have my own default file and haven't used a finale-factory-generated default in more than three years. my reasoning for the use of fixed point size for text blocks was to assist the non- to semi-professional user [or anyone who may use a finale-generated default or template] to assure some consistency of title page and page number appearance throughout their work. the use of fixed point sizes for title page and page number text blocks benefits the user who employs page reduction, and won't even be noticed by the user who uses system reduction exclusively. voil�, c'est tout. jef -- shirling & neueweise \................/ new music notation specialists mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] :.../ http://newmusicnotation.com ++ _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
