Is the term "Bratschen" for violas obsolete in German? Would it be better to use "Violen"? ___ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale

The best kludge for linked, voiced parts with grace notes in them is to have a different copy of the file with the default grace note spacing changed just for those parts. All the other parts (non- voiced, or those without grace notes) can still reside in the same file with the score. Chri

Actually, it does more than just "make the number of measures in each system the same from one part to another" -- or it can, depending on the options you choose. It also (optionally) preserves forced system and page breaks, distances between systems, etc. Cheers, - DJA - WEB: http://s

Yes, using voicing rules. Unless you have any grace notes. (There is an annoying bug with voiced linked parts + grace notes.) Cheers, - DJA - WEB: http://secretsociety.typepad.com On Dec 15, 2009, at 5:15 PM, Ryan wrote: Thanks for the clarification. I guess my question wasn't clear. F

They are still linked to the original score. Tobias' plugin does nothing to extract them, or unlink them in any way. It only copies the layout from a part you have worked on and sets up another part the same way - the same measure layout, distances between systems, etc. This is a conveni

Yes, all it does is make the number of measures in each system the same from one part to another. It isn't exactly the same as the old technique of copying the contents of horn 2 into the horn 1 part, then saving under a new name, because you don't get all the nudges and things you did to t

Are these parts still linked to the original score, or are they separate files now? I haven't used linked parts in a large ensemble, so I'm curious how people are getting the results they want. On Tue, Dec 15, 2009 at 11:01 AM, Chuck Israels wrote: > > On Dec 15, 2009, at 10:33 AM, Paul Hayden wr
