Still waiting here in OZ for Fin2004, I am doing some tart-up work in Win Fin 2001 and came across a classic bug.-or is it? Have I missed something ?
Very short piece- 21 measures.(Christmas Carol!) Very simple notation. Extract parts- fit 7 measures per staff. ( Silly me- expecting 7 measures per staff) All parts- without exception, stave 1 = 7 measures, stave 2 = 7, stave 3 = 6 measures, and stave 4 = ONE measure! Why does this happen? Easily fixed- but why? It is not a spacing thing- even the last 7 measures of one half note in each 2/4 bar gives the same.
In the past I've had even more bizarre things. e.g. 60 measures, set for 6 measures per stave. Surely- 10 of six! Right? Wrong! Finale gives 9 staves of 6 measures, 1stave of 5 measures, and- *on page 2* -one measure (about 7 inches wide!)
All parts- no matter how simple were the same. Finale insisted on page 2 for one measure.
Please explain?- and solution? Cheers Keith in OZ
Yep, it's a bug. Finale can't see the last measure when fitting music for some reason.
Solution: Mass Mover, click on the offending measure to select it, hit the up arrow key to move it up to the previous system. Done.
