Here's how I'd do it in 2k7: 1. Enter the notes as you normally would (although I'd recommend reading up on Part Voicing to see if you want to adjust your workflow a bit) 2. Go to the Manage Parts dialog 3. Create a part for the Oboe I. Add the Oboe I/II staff and apply voicing rules to remove the oboe II part 4. Create a part for the Oboe II. Add the Oboe I/II staff and apply voicing rules to remove the oboe I part 5. Click OK. You can now switch between parts and score and see your results. 6. Clean up. Most of your positioning issues that you had with TG tools are moot, since you are still viewing the same data from the score as opposed to making copies. There may be a voicing thing to fix here or there, but for the most part I've found this works pretty well.
What I think you will find is that you may still want to extract, but you will begin doing so later in your process. There will be a few things that you may not want to do in a linked part as opposed to an extracted one. What I've found is that I'm slowly re-vamping my workflow to incorporate linked parts. > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Robert Patterson > Sent: Thursday, August 10, 2006 12:03 PM > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [Finale] Finale 2007 review > > > > > > OK: I've got two oboe parts on a single staff, and I want > to make two > > parts for the players.
