hey chuck, more grand news.
1. TGTools: modify: transfer: layout: beat charts and measure widths
2. layout tool: **before** doing layout (*) select "apply to PT/SC"
in "edit system margins" dialogue and select the instruments you
want the changes to apply to (!!!!! remember to change it back to
this part only once done!!!) and set system layout as you wish
actually there is (almost) no point in using finale's built-in layout
copy function for large-scale layout duplication, because you can
only apply it to one system at a time (uh...), but (here's another
plug for our plugin godz!!!) i just did this with TGTools (same place
as 1., how the *&? i missed that beats the hell out of me).
it"s taking me about 30-40min to do the layout for each instrument, i
have 8-7-6-4-4 strings left; each group plays similar materials, more
or less the same density, and although the measures they pause and
play in sometimes vary a little, i just copied vlnI.1 to the 10 other
violins, check through them and i need around 5-10 minutes for minor
adjustments to the layout per part. i alkso copied to the 1st viola,
will adjust that and copy across the other violas, etc.
the bottom line: i just shaved about 20-30min off the layout of 24
instruments, which means i get to sleep tomorrow night (have to print
on saturday or i'm dead), thanks to TGTools.
(you can do this of course to extracted parts as well, i'm just
pointing out that there is an easy way to copy layout across parts,
and this seems to be your only hesitation in jumping to 2007 / linked
parts.)
3. layout tool: using fit measure options cmd-sh-f set measures per system (*)
there is a checkbox for this as well, but i can't seem to get it working here.
