hey patsy, your topline distance is the distance between the top stafflines of 2 adjacent (vertically) staves. if your value is 0 you are laying a new staff directly over the existing one. if your measurement units are set to EVPUs try a value of 275 or 300.
but your best bet is probably the setup wizard, where you can select predefined ensembles that will include the standard clef for those instruments in your chosen ensemble. this is the way to go if you want the whole list of orchestra ranges on one page. if you are instead simply trying to make the same generic document for each musician with a grand staff (treble and bass, like piano), in your one-staff document, open the score manager (cmd-k on mac) and set the instrument to piano (no staff name), under the keyboards section. if none of this helps, you might want to upload a scan of a handwritten version of what you are aiming for. cheers, jef _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [email protected] https://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale To unsubscribe from finale send a message to: [email protected]
