Here is a possibility that I don't use myself, but works for my wife and might for you: if you need to produce several parts that will all have the same layout (numbers of pages and staves) you can extract one, do your layout on it and save it. Then for the remainder you return to the score, select the massmover, select the stave of the next part (if you use multiple layers I think "show active layer" should cope), copy all with CTRL-C (or the Mac equivalent - is it different?) and replace the contents of the part with this. You will need to correct the name of the part and multiple rests, possibly some other things. -- Ken Moore [EMAIL PROTECTED] Web site: http://www.mooremusic.org.uk/ I reject emails > 100k automatically: warn me beforehand if you want to send one _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
