It very much depends. Here is what I do most often: 1) Note entry 2) Slurs and other smart shapes 3) Artics 4) Expressions. 5) Layout 6) Score preparation for parts (on a copy of the score) 7) part extraction 8) part layout.
2)-4) I either do for the whole piece/movement, per part or even per screen, depending on how many markings there are. It also depends on whether I am working from a score or from parts.
With contemporary music with lots of markings I usually work by manuscript pages, or sometimes by measure.

Hi All, I've been lurking on the list for quite some time now, and have been using Finale for about 7 years. To this point, every Finale file I have created has been done in a different way. I've never had time to sit down and create templates, etc. I know that in the long run, this could be costing me a lot of time. I'd like to ask if there is a standard, or most efficient, order of "doing things" when creating a Finale file from scratch. I am always finding myself going back to reinvent the wheel every time I create and fine-tune each file. Has any type of checklist been created for this use? I appreciate any help you all can give, and I respect your collective wisdom quite thoroughly. Kindest regards, Brennon Bortz _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
