TGTools: layout: staff list manager: check for optimization errors
From: David W. Fenton
I also think that staff optimization should not be something that you have to remove and then re-apply.
you can simply re-apply optimization, but this will of course remove any adjustments to the staff spacing you have done.
i only use this tool for adjusting inter-staff spacing and forcing empty staves to show or hiding staves with stuffinnem (stored in score for part extraction), after optimizing through finale.
i don't think finale's built-in optimizer should automatically re-optimize, but in the there should be a document option allowing the user to have it function that way, which would be very useful when (eg.) pushing a measure into another system out of which its staff has already been optimized. also, running the optimization dialogue box for a system which has already been optimized should be able to take into account any adjustments to the layout the user has done:
* optimize systems _ to _ (default inter-staff spacing) * re-optimize systems _ to _ (incorporate existing inter-staff spacing)
in the latter case, staves which have been force-hidden will now appoerar again... maybe a staff style could eventually be developed which allows for the designated region of measures to be automatically optimized out whenever possible (as little as one measure in the same system without this staff style applied to it would override and force the staff to show).
