In Scroll view, add the second staff, plus a group bracket if you want. After you're done entering music, you want to select the Page Layout tool and Optimize all systems, removing empty staves. What this will do is delete any empty staff from a system. So if there are no notes in the bass clef staff for the first 4 systems, Finale will hide that staff for those systems in Page view. (You can always still get to it in Scroll view.)
If you add a group bracket, make sure that Group Optimization in Group Attributes is set to Optimize Normally.
Take a look in the manual under 'Optimizing systems' for more information. Aaron. _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [email protected] http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
