I've asked this before, gotten good answers before, also figured
this out on my own before, but NOW, with MacFin2007, I can't seem
to get it to work using linked parts.
The piano part: how can I optimize this part? As we know, the
default is "Optimize only when all staves are empty." With Staff
Tool>Edit Groups I used to be able to change that (it had to be
done before I did a Special Part extraction), but not with Fiin07
linked parts, it won't happen.
What's the remedy?
All the best,
Kim,
This is at least the 3rd time I have answered this for you, and I
answered it earlier today for another list member. Could you print it
up, or write it down somewhere?
This is what you have to do.
First, REMOVE optimisation from the score if you want to optimise the
score, and remove it from the linked parts if you want to optimise
the parts, if you have ever applied optimisation. Don't worry, you
can put it back afterwards. This means go to the score and remove
optimisation. Then go to the piano part and remove optimisation. If
you only want to optimise the part and don't care about the score,
only remove it from the part, and vice-versa.
Second, set the Group Attributes for the Piano in the score to ALLOW
optimisation. Do the same in the linked part, as you can have
optimisation differently for groups in the score and groups in the
parts. If you don't care about the score or part, then leave it alone.
Third, apply optimisation where you want it. That means, if you want
it in the part, apply it in the part. If you want it in the score,
apply it in the score. If you want it both places, apply it both places.
If you do any of these steps out of order, the whole procedure will
NOT work, and you will have to start over. Remember, you can't change
the group attributes on an optimised system (even if the program
appears to let you do it), and parts and score can be set differently
from each other.
If something doesn't work after this, it is possible that the file is
corrupted somehow, but I have never seen it in this form.
