[Finale] 2007 DUPLICATING LAYOUTS
Dear Listers, Forgive me this question, that answer which is probably well-known and obvious to all who are now using Fin2007. I have not converted from my 2005b as I am waiting to the maintenance up-date which should be out very soon (is it out yet?). I have a student where I teach Jazz Composition at USC. She has basically been studying Finale with me this past semester. She has Finale 2007 and last week we finally got to the Linked Parts, me having no experience with that new feature of Finale. Well, we got the first part and made the format changes necessary. Now, the question is: How do you model all the other parts after the first? It must be in Manage Parts under the Format menu, but we couldn't come up with the effective answer, even after referring to the online Help section. Can you give me some help here? All the best, KIM R ___ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
Re: [Finale] 2007 DUPLICATING LAYOUTS
If you are in Page Layout, and use the menu in there, there is an option to Apply to Score/Part, and it brings up a box where you can select what parts you want the layout applied to. So, if you get a layout for like Alto 1 looking the way you want it, you then go Page Layout-Edit System Margins, then Apply to Parts/Score. And the same for Page Layout. Works really well I think. And you can have it generate part names by going to Text Tool-Insert Part/Score Name.

The same sort of page layout settings which used to be in the old Extract Parts dialog are present in the Manage Parts dialog. As far as I have seen, there isn't any magic make all the other parts match this part button to click, so you have to set things such as page margin, distance between staves, etc. in the manage parts dialog. -- David H.

Re: [Finale] 2007 DUPLICATING LAYOUTS
Dear Kim, Eric's response is correct, as far as it goes, but if you want to use the method that I used to use, emptying, re-filling, and re-naming parts, you have to extract them into separate files, losing the advantages of the linked score and parts. Sorry - that's just the way it is. I have mixed feelings about this, since there is a lot of time to be saved when writing certain kinds of music and using this template method. There are other situations in which having linked parts is a terrific advantage - when many edits need to be made.
