I am working on a Sinfonia that has short movements (first movement is
80 bars, 2nd movement 50, etc). So this
isn't anything big like a Bruckner Symphony.
I have a hunch, that there are advantages for the one file rout. For
example, for purposes of creating a booklet, it'd be much easier to
make this just ONE file. Using the FinaleScript would be difficult to
figure out on three separate documents. But I have trouble doing
this:typically when I go to extract parts, I end up with the first
movement measure and the beginning of the 2nd movement side by side.
There isn't any spacing like you see in the score. And the movement
tempo/headers are just put on the page.
Could someone please explain a good technique (step by step) for
creating a multimovement piece as a single Finale document so the
parts extract correctly? I'd be so appreciative.
Where do you find the booklet creation script also? I use Finale 2005b.
Would using Acrobat to "stich" multiple separate movements/documents be
an option versus using FinaleScript booklet ?
This assumes that the instrumentation remains constant between all 3
movements.
1) enter the music for the first movement, (complete with key changes,
meter changes, etc).
2) enter the music for the second movement, (complete with key changes,
meter changes, etc).
3) enter the music for the third movement (complete with key changes,
meter changes, etc).
4) use the measure tool, click on the first measure of the 2nd movement,
and check the box for Start New System, and then also set Time Signature
and Key Signature to Always Show.
5) repeat step 4 for the first measure of the 3rd movement.
6) define your measure number ranges such that the first range covers
the first movement, the second range covers the second movement with the
first measure defined to be 1, same for the third movement. This
assumes that you don't need additional measure number ranges within each
movement to account for 1st/2nd endings, partial measures, whatever.
It's really easy.
