I'm finding cues to be less & less of a problem. You basically need two staff styles. One that uses the new Alternate "Default Rest" Notation and hides everything else. Ane one that hides only the layer the cues are in. (I always use Layer 4.) Applying both in score view, you apply the former to full measures and the latter to partial measures to hide cues. (I still haven't fully thought through rest positioning in partial measures. That still probably presents something of a challenge.)
As for clef changes, Tyler suggested somewhere the perfect solution. Create a staff style that "tranposes" by forcing to clef without changing anything else. Applying it to the score view hides any clef changes in the cue. (Actually, any clef changes at all.) As far as some magic tool for creating linked cues automatically, this seems even more unlikely than linked parts did. FWIW: I use TGTools to start cues, because it saves a great deal of initial re-entry time. Then I edit them to taste. It's a pain, yes, but I don't care about making cues as pretty as doubtless Johannes does. I am not a fan of mirrors. In the early years they were responsible for horrific file corruption. Although they continue to be supported, it is an old feature that has not received much attention, so they don't work very well, especially with many new features. Whether MM views them this way or not, I view mirrors as deprecated. _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [email protected] http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
