Re: [Finale] orch score part naming
Hi David, There are three common solutions. One is to have a separate file for the score, and then one other file for all the parts. Categories for expressions can be edited to change the sizes without having to edit each expression separately. Two separate files also simplifies other things like cues. Second is to have TWO expressions, then hide one in the score and the other in all the parts. This can be done quickly in a couple of key presses if you know what you’re doing (read the section about the override key for the Show function carefully, it’s very powerful); again there is no need to go to EACH part separately. Third (this is what I generally do) is to set the fonts to FIXED sizes. Typically, because of all the various fonts and sizes used in each expression, I create a tempo expression, select the whole thing in the Edit window, hit cmd-sh left arrow twice (to reduce the size of each character by two points) and then click Fixed for font size. This will make a 14 point text only 12 points fixed, but in a part reduced at 85% it is very close to what the 14 pt text would be. In the score it will be 12 point fixed as I set it, which makes it large enough to be seen no matter what the system reduction is. It is a little quick-and-dirty, but it works fine.

Re: [Finale] orch score part naming
Hi David, I think you can do this by having different sized expressions and use hide/show to control which ones are visible. Show the larger ones in the score and the smaller ones on the parts. There are often things I want to show on parts (“To Flute”, for instance, might be helpful on a reed doubler’s part) that are not needed in the score and only clutter it.

Re: [Finale] orch score part naming
Hi Robert, and thanks. Found this in the parts creation section. Last question about this: do you (or does anyone) know if it is possible yet to have tempo marks in different sizes in score and parts? In large ensemble scores, small size tempi look silly in the score, while large size tempi look silly in the parts.

[Finale] Ykeys learning curve
Alright just call me Wimpy. I got Ykeys but the learning curve is intimidating and arcane for the simple minded like me. If someone would be willing to send me a few choice shortcuts that I can clone and adapt I would gladly pay you Tuesday. Payment would be prompt. The most befuddling is how to address a submenu. It was one thing to program a hotkey for RESPELL NOTES but how do you get a hotkey for FAVOUR SHARPS or FAVOUR FLATS?
