- Create a new document without libraries: you get one measure, treble clef.
- Add a few measures.
- Create a staff style where the only option checked is "First Clef", set to alto clef.
- Apply the staff style to the first measure.
- The treble clef in the first measure changes to an alto clef.
Try following exactly the steps above. If the clef correctly changes (as it does for me) when you started with an empty document without libraries, the problem must be coming from your default document, or the template you're using. You could try re-installing the Maestro Default file.
If the problem persists, even when you start with a new document without libraries, it seems like a bug specific to the version of Finale that you're using.

When you apply the style to the first measure, the clef should change to alto. If it doesn't, maybe the staff has another clef chosen in "Set to Clef" in the Transposition part. Or maybe the staff style itself has another clef chosen in "Set to Clef".I'm just wondering if you've actually tried this yourself? Does it actually work? I have *no* transpositions in effect and although I'm not 100% sure what you mean by the last sentence, I'm pretty sure it doesn't. No matter what boxes I check or uncheck in the define staff styles dialog, if the 'first clef' box - upper left - is set to *any* clef other than what the staff currently is, *NOTHING* happens when I apply the staff style. (As to all the other options in the define staff style dialog, I've left them in their default check-greyed except the transposition which I turned OFF - no check at all). You would think that applying the staff style would change the staff to the desired clef. I haven't checked with Coda as I wanted to see if this was a known problem or if anyone else could actually do what I want to do. It takes about 30 seconds to do. Anyone actually get it to work?--------- James Gilbert http://www.JamesGilbertMusic.com [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
