I'm doing a piece where many of the parts (big band score) have
multi-measure rests before and after the coda (go to) mark. I'm
using FinWin 2004 under WinXP.
The problem is: I can either have multi-measure rests or the mark,
not both. If I select the measures in question (before and after,
in separate groups), the measure the Coda mark is attached to will
not be included unless I de-select "break multi-measure rests" when
selecting the coda mark. But if I do that, the mark itself becomes
invisible.
I have, in most cases, 9 measures, the mark, and 3 measures. But
it comes out as 8 measures, 1 measure with the coda sign, and 3
measures.
ANy idea how to fix this?
I know it's a pain.
If you attach it to the FIRST measure of the three measure rest
(aligned left, rather than right), it will be positioned properly,
but only if you go to coda in the middle of a system. It will be at
the BEGINNING of a system (wrong!) if the 8 and 3 are on different
systems.
What I have been doing is to create an expression that attaches to
the multimeasure rest in the parts (with a metatool) aligned to the
right barline. Create it before part extraction, so it is a one-click
deal in each part to attach it.
You won't need to do this next part in 2004, but I include here for
those who use linked parts. After you enter it in the part, then hide
it in the score (which hides it in the parts) then right-click in the
parts that need it to Show it only in that part. It shows up in the
score as being attached to the FIRST measure of the 8 bar rest, but
once you know that it is easy to find in the score. Depending on how
many parts have different numbers of measures rest, I might have to
put in a few of these expressions.
