Re: [Finale] Moving notes in a chord to another layer

OK, I'm sure this has been asked before, but...

Let's say I have a series of 2-note chords on one staff.  Is there a way of
processing the entire staff so that the top note remains in layer 1, while
the bottom note shifts to layer 2 (or any other layer for that matter).  The
only way I can think of doing it is the rather time-consuming one of
creating an extra staff, using the note mover tool to shift the bottom
notes, then moving layers using the mass edt, then finally moveing back to
the original staff using thre note mover and deleting the extra staff.
Surely there must be a quicker way.  Is there a plug-in that does this?

Dear Colin,

It's pretty easy and quick to use Explode Music, moving the lower notes to a new staff, changing layers, then rejoining the two staves. Remember to invoke "Show Active Layer Only" when copying the new staff into the old. Then you can delete the new staff.
