The wrong bracket would display, as it's a continuo part with the right hand realization optimized out. A curly bracket is not what I want. Johannes was right to suggest that I could create a group in page view that would bracket the single system. But really, all I needed was to include the left barline on single staves, which completely solved my problem, even if it breaks the rules of the Great Gods of Music Engraving. I don't give a rat's ass about the rules when they make my scores less readable, and I"m glad Finale allows me to break those rules by simply changing the value of one little checkbox. -- David W.
