I might be missing something, but what is wrong with having items which can be set to only display in the score, even before parts exist. Ok, an additional benefit might be to include a mechanism which could selectivly link them to certain parts, but as a start I'd be quite happy to have an object category which is permanently not present in the parts. I can see no problems with such objects. It would be extremely useful for footnotes and the likes.
You mean like what we have with Text Expressions and the associated staff lists? We could have a staff list for other associated items. Why not? The mechanism is already there.
I use these for things like Score in C which is attached to the piccolo or whatever and set to show always on the top score staff.
I am going to find things like bar numbers to be a much bigger problem. Attaching bar numbers beneath the bottom staff, centred, has proven very popular with conductors. But I don't want them in the part!
Same of course in reverse with the clefs in cues (sigh). Matthew _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [email protected] http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
