[Finale] graphic time signature

I am making a score that has one system with many staffs, each of which is a different published version of one particular piece of music. The point is to compare notational styles and transcription decisions among the versions. One of these uses the C with a slash 'cut time' and another uses 2/2

This is easiest if in document options you have abbreviate cut time checked, unless I misunderstood what you're after.. select the time sig tool and double-click in the measure in which you want to have 2/2 used. Click on options, check use a different time signature for display, and uncheck

Richard, Under Staff Attributes check Independent Elements Time Signatures, then use Cecil's suggestion to change the appearance of one of the staves. Much easier than inserting expressions and the like, which are a mighty pain. Christopher On Aug 18, 2006, at 8:03 AM, Richard Yates

[Finale] Early impressions of 2007

FWIW (not much most likely), I installed Finale 2007 and gave it a go today. It's interesting going from 2005 to 2007 on the Mac. Some things are much slower (scrolling up the list of custom smart shapes - g), but other things (e.g. selection tool) seem more responsive, thank goodness.

You can override the clef changes in cues with a transposition staff style. It won't actually transpose, but it will use Set to Clef. Other clef issues can probably be resolved this way, but perhaps not all of them. Dejan Badnjar wrote: Don't you gentleman think that clefs should absolutely

The only problem I have that is that I don't want to start the clef change before the barline, it should be just before the beat of the cue entrance. (eg. 3/4 time 1/4 rest 1/4 rest clef 1/8 rest 1/8 note) I don't want to apply stuff styles on the music that does not require it. You can not apply
