Earlier versions of Finale may not have this plugin (I'm on 2004, which doesn't), but I've been using Jari's JW Score System Divider plugin for years and I'm very happy with it. Is the one that ships with Finale the same? -Lee > > Blake Richardson wrote: > > I'm working with Finale 2009 on a Mac

Jonathan's is probably the easiest solution suggested. I've already completed the chart I was working on (Cold Blood's Valdez in the Country). In my score, I did indent the coda measure, and put the coda sign to the left of it. All I had to do with my parts was drag the coda staff to the right,

Giz, How about using a staff style? Make a copy the score for extract purposes, then add a measure before you go to Coda. Create a staff style to make this a totally 'blank' measure. Force the system to start at this point and place in your coda sign/text accordingly. Force the key and time and

Also: Never underestimate the benefit of having a foolproof roadmap. All other things being equal, from a sightreading perspective it is far, far preferable to have a part that reads straight through from beginning to end than it is to have a part with jumpers (D.C., D.S., etc). - Darcy -
