Re: [Finale] Staff spacing in FinMac 2003a
I remember a wiedrness in version 2003. In scroll view move the staves to the very top of the window and voila the page view is closer. Try it.

Or try the Repeat Last TGTool command off the main plugin menu, after you select the Staff List Manager. Selecting the SLM should open a window that shows your staves. You can set the relative offsets in one system, then copy that optimization to the other systems where you want it.

Re: [Finale] Staff spacing in FinMac 2003a
Martin - Since the movement is already optimized you can do this but only on a system-by-system basis. In the staff tool, drag enclose the BOTTOM staff handles (drag from bottom of page to top). Then you can use the re-space staves command from the staff tool menu.

With all of the voices, both instrumental and vocal, there are 10 staves per system. The 4th movement only has 7 staves per system (I optimized out the other 3 staves that do not contain any notes in this movement). With optimizing, I wanted to have two systems per page now for this movement with only 7 staves per system. However, no matter how I change the top and bottom margins in page layout, I can't get two systems to fit on one page. How can I reduce the distance between staves in this one movement (maybe -310 or -300 evpus) so I can fit two systems on one page?

It's part of the full version of TGTools, which you'd have to purcha$e.

Okay, I downloaded this and placed it in the plug-in folder, so now TG tools shows up as a pull down menu when I open up the file I'm working on. I see the Staff List Manager, click on it, and nothing happens.
