Re: [Finale] Mac 2014.5 confusion

[Chuck Israels]

Linda, Hide empty staves is in the staff tool.  
In page view, right click (or control click) on the handle of the staff system 
you want to affect. Double click to select all staves. A dialogue box will 
appear with choices, including "Hide Empty Staves."

Don't know the answer to the other question, but it would be useful to me too.

[Finale] Mac 2014.5 confusion

[Linda Worsley]

I'm feeling brain dead.  I can't find some of the commands and menu items
I've been used to.
It's very disorienting!  These are things I have used for years, and cannot
locate in the version of Finale Mac 2014

Where is the "hide empty staves"?

Where is the command to keep the staff spacing you made in scroll view when
you go to page view  I think I remember that it was something like "retain
spacing in page view" but I'm probably wrong.

I am using command x to delete just the notes in a single measure (or more
than one) when there is notation in the other staves.

I've been using this version right along, and then went to template I
haven't used before and I can't find any of these commands.  Please help!

Thanks,
Linda Worsley

Then you need to fake the staff lines too and include them in the shape.

Guess what. I'm a masochist and I've bettered my ways!

[Finale] Break stem

[Dennis Bathory-Kitsz]

Hi all,

Finale 2014.5, Windows 10

Any idea how to break a stem?

Client wants a stem to pass through a rest (8th, 16th, 32nd), visually
breaking the stem as it does so.

I've tried creating a rest character with an opaque background, but it also
obscures the staff lines.

Thanks,
Dennis

It's 4 pianos, 90 pages, 11x17 landscape, with tons of little adjustments and
changes because the composer's notation is idiosyncratic and often wrong, and
he refuses to change it. There's some money left on the composer's tab.
