[Finale] Split Finale Document
Is there a simple way (plugin or function I've missed) to split, for example, the 3rd movement of a multi-movement file into its own separate Finale file, preserving layout? Basically, the opposite of ScoreMerger... ___ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
Re: [Finale] Split Finale Document
If nothing else works: Make a copy of the document and rename it adequately. Delete all measures before and after the desired movement.

Re: [Finale] Split Finale Document
Deleting measures (using the Edit menu) will mess up the layout. You should be able to preserve the layout of the movement if you delete staff Systems with the Page Layout Tool.

Re: [Finale] Split Finale Document
Preview is great for combining/splitting PDFs. What I am doing however is a one-off version with a reduced instrumentation, so the PDF doesn't work. Deleting systems is probably gonna be the way to go for me. At least I'm gonna try it when the time comes.
