[Finale] Elegant way of working with hidden staves in score?
All, I am working with a piece for mixed choir and orchestra. This is the first time I have this combination and I am not sure how to handle a piano reduction that I want to have with the choral score. I need to have this in the score while working with it, but when finalizing and printing the parts, choral score with the piano reduction and the full score I of course do not want to have the piano reduction in the final version of the full score. The most obvious way, I guess, would be to hide the piano reduction staves in the score prior to printing. But just use Staff Attributes and check Hide staff creates a hole in the score (if it is not on top or bottom) and I then need to rearrange the other staves which is not a straightforward thing, especially if you need to unhide the piano reduction staves again for additionali editing.. Another way would be to define a part with all parts except for the desired ones and use this as the full score. But I just have a feeling this won't be so easy to work with as a score.or am I wrong? Is there a more elegant and professional way of working with this? Using Fin2010 on Win. Thanks /D ___ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
Re: [Finale] Elegant way of working with hidden staves in score?
When you think that you are finished with all the parts, ie. orchestra, choir, and piano reduction, I find it simpler to save as for each score that you wish to finally have. You will need a full orchestra and choir, a choir with rehearsal piano, and then probably Choir. That is 3 scores. Works fine for me. tim On Aug 31, 2010, at 5:04 PM, Dan Tillberg wrote: All, I am working with a piece for mixed choir and orchestra.

Re: [Finale] Elegant way of working with hidden staves in score?
You can optimise them out. There are utilities for this, or if you don't have TG TOols pro then you can just optimise them out of the score before entering any music. The space closes up when you optimise (though probably not with the spacing you want, grr!)

RE: [Finale] Ossia bars
Hello all; PC Fin2010. I am working on a piece that uses scordatura in the solo part. An occasional ossia bar will show the performer real pitch. Ossia Tool is not letting me transpose it. Staff Tool can not be used to define it as a transposing part. Selection Tool can not be used to highlight (and then transpose) it. And I could not find any help in the Manual. Any suggestions?
