[Finale] Re: OPTIMIZING
I want to thank you all for your suggestions. Karen is one who solved it. I had done Special Part extraction prior to all this, so it seems I had to UNEXTRACT the part, then change the setting under the Group attributes, then EXTRACT again, the optimize. That did it.

No matter what I do, the piano part will not optimize into one staff at any point. I have checked in Edit Group Attributes and made sure it is set on Optimize Staves Normally (although after trying to optimize a few times, it reverts back to Only Remove When All Staves Are Empty). I have made there are no entries in the blank staff in the systems I'm trying to optimize. I've checked in the Staff Systems attributes to make sure both staves have Allow Optimization checked. Any ideas? All the best, Do you have any real whole rests? These are created when you enter a whole note and backspace to convert to a rest, in Speedy Entry, or simply entered as a rest by clicking in Simple entry. If there are any of these (they look just like the whole rests inserted into empty measures by the program) the staff won't be optimized out. If the staff is supposed to be truly empty, you can simply use mass mover to highlight the measures in question and then clear everything. But if there is anything attached to those specific measures you can't remove that staff from that system. -- No results. I did make very sure there were no entries.

Any ideas? All the best, KIM Richmond If you have already tried optimising, you will have to REMOVE optimisation before the Group Attributes can be changed. Then go back and optimise again. I don't why it works like this. It just does. This little tidbit cost me several hours a year or two ago. Grr. Christopher Sounds like it should work, but doesn't in this case. What am I overlooking?
