Yes, I extracted parts, then transposed them. My practice has always been scores at concert pitch. This score was entered in Finale 97 (also in the days when PDFs created under Finale/Windows were massive and had ugly screen display). > if i am right in my assumption, regardless of your method, you will > have cleanup ahead of you for transposed parts anyways, although it > sounds like there aren't that many to start with. 2 clarinets, 2 horns, 2 trumpets. > if this is the 1st time you are making PTs for > this SC i would still go with linked PTs. Which I've done, except for the 1 and 2 parts that I can't figure out how to make work as linked parts and have extracted. > however i do know that with time constraints, sometimes familiarity > trumps learning new methods, in terms of workflow efficiency... Right. My scores and parts have been available for PDF download in their 'first night format', and I clean them up if there's a subsequent interest in a performance. In this case, a distributor has asked for printed copies of 12 pieces as soon as possible -- so a lot of work. This flute concerto is the only big one. > that should just be a setting in the text block that can be changed > very easily; if not, something wonky is happening there. Mystified me. I figured if I set up the initial insert for font, style and position (horizontally centered using the dialog box, not by dragging) that it would carry though to the rest of the parts. But no, they all had handles on the left with the handle placed on the right margin and protruding rightward (sometimes off the page). I did each one at a time with the positioning dialog.
