Re: [Finale] Score and Parts

[Christopher Smith]

You have a bunch of issues here. I am suspecting some of them are exacerbated 
by using old templates in new versions of Finale, as they were for me. Bite the 
bullet and transfer your settings to a brand-new Finale document to use as a 
template.

Hitting command P should open the print dialogue, as it does for all Mac apps. 
The command is “Print” from the File menu, as it is for all Mac apps, and it 
has been that way for as long as I remember. I have never seen Print in the 
Edit Parts menu. The Print dialogue is a little different in v25, which might 
be confusing you.

You should probably format your parts a bit before printing them, unless you 
have the absolute part format settings handed down by God himself and have 
managed to avoid all collisions. Normally in newer versions of Finale with 
linked parts (2007 and later) whenever you add an instrument to the score, the 
part is automatically generated according to the settings in Document>Page 
Format>Parts, which MAY not be the settings in the present parts if you have 
made some changes. If you open up a pre-2007 file, the parts need to be 
generated first manually (Document>Manage Parts>Generate), and the settings may 
not be what you need, so there will be a bit of fudging around to get them 
right. Once you have them the way you like, use that file as a template to 
avoid having to go through this again. If you ever open a pre-2007 file again, 
it may be easier to simply copy the contents to a new Finale document and add 
the titles manually.

This sounds like a very old bug from a previous version of the Matrix rearing 
its ugly head. I am suspecting some sort of corruption involving the temp 
files. Quit Finale immediately, restart the computer, and when you reopen 
Finale find out where it stores its temp files and go to that folder. It should 
be empty, so delete any files you find there and empty the trash. This bug has 
caused the content of entire files to switch out, so don’t play games with this.

Plugins>Scoring and Arranging>Global Staff Attributes plugin. Click the box 
“Staff Name in Parts” until it is blank, and hit OK.

BTW, you shouldn’t be showing the staff name AT ALL in parts, unless it is a 
multistaff part like a choral score, or clarinet 1 and 2 on the same part. The 
instrument name for the part should be in a Text box, upper left-hand corner of 
all parts and score, with the Text menu>Insert>Part/Score Name added to it. The 
part name is the staff name, unless you have changed it in the Part Definition 
dialogue box.

Re: [Finale] Score and Parts

[Robert Patterson]

Larry,

You can use the File->Print dialog to print score, parts, or any
combination thereof. The Finale 25 print dialog is far from perfect but it
is usable.

Your title problem sounds like it could be file corruption. Do you see the
problem when you open the file fresh immediately after starting Finale?

For showing file names on parts, I suggest turning the global setting "Show
Name in Parts" off. Then apply a staff style to the first bar to turn it on
for the first bar.

Robert

[Finale] Score and Parts

[Lawrence David Eden]

Finale 25
Max OS 10.13.4

Dear Listers,

I am still confused about how to get my parts to the printer.  When I used 
Finale 2011, I printed my parts directly from the “Edit Parts” menu and it 
worked fine.  In Finale 25, this does not work.
What is the correct procedure for getting my score divided into parts and sent 
to the printer?  Are we back to extracting parts or should “generate parts” 
give me a printer ready document?

Another Question:  I noticed that titles from previous arrangements are finding 
their way into new pieces.  For example:  I arranged a "Trumpet Voluntary."  I 
closed this document then opened a different arrangement and the title showed 
up on my new piece as “Trumpet Voluntary.”  Is there a fix that I am 
overlooking?


Final Question:  every staff in my parts has the abbreviated instrument name in 
the margin.  While I want the instrument name on each part, I only need it to 
appear once.  I am looking for a global fix.



Thanks in advance for any light you Finale mavins can shed.
