Hi All,
I am trying to write an old style Jazz big band drum part. Is there really no way to unmask ensemble cues, on top of the, staff over slashes or single bar repeats?

Number one question from my students! I don't know why they changed this default from Finale 2001, everyone I know has to change it back again. Perform the edit below for single bar repeats, too, and you should be in business.
1) To make Slash Notation and Rhythmic Notation staff styles show notes in other layers (essential for drum parts!)
Select the Staff Tool (looks like a treble clef)
Staff Menu>Define Staff Styles
Beside "Available Styles" select "Slash Notation"
Directly below that about two inches is a check box and "Alternate Notation." Click on the "Select" button just below that.
In the "Alternate Notation" dialogue box at the bottom, there are four options available; "Show Items Attached to Notes, Show Notes in Other Layers, Show Items Attached to Notes in Other Layers, and Add Dots to Slashes in Compound Meters." ALL of them should be checked.
Click OK
Beside "Available Styles" select "Rhythmic Notation"
Click on the "Select" button just below "Alternate Notation" again
In the "Alternate Notation" dialogue box at the bottom, there are four options available; "Show Items Attached to Notes, Show Notes in Other Layers, Show Items Attached to Notes in Other Layers, and Stems up in Rhythmic Notation". Check ONLY the first three; leave the stem direction alone.
Click OK, then OK in the Staff Styles dialogue box.
