this is absurd. you set up a template and even if you have to change a few things for individual projects, 90% of the things you need to work on ANY score is already there. I have a template with empty linked parts created. All of this presupposes that I know how the composition is going

this is absurd, too. the score manager is not just another bloated pile of dialogues, it is a single unifying dialogue that allowed integration of a number of things. sure there are glitches, but i think you underestimate it. the parts manager is the central point to control the look and

Well, linked/voiced parts are bit of a pain in the tuchus to set up, they aren't done by the setup wizard, and you may very well have to set them all up brand new for each ensemble. But otherwise, point taken. Christopher On Sun Aug 26, at SundayAug 26 3:30 AM, SN jef chippewa wrote:

[Finale] Distance between lines in a TAB staff

I never really have worked with tabulature, even if I have been presented for the principles many years ago. Having taken up the very small UBass (ukulele bass playing in the correct contrabass octave) I saw potentials for chord playing beyond those of the long frets on other basses. I wrote

Sorry, found out that the distance is changed in Score Manager = Other. That fixes the reading problem, but then the time signature gets ugly. It went off-center when the 5th line was removed. Any solutions? Klaus From: Klaus Smedegaard Bjerre

In fact, you can't edit ANY items in the measure if they are linked, voiced parts. I wish everything was unlinkable and editable in parts AND score. I have complained about this, and all they said was to extract the part and edit it there. ... so that you are effectively no longer able to

Hi Chuck, Jef, To follow up on what Jef wrote, this is probably obvious, but: If you uncheck the Break MM Rests attribute of the D.S. al Coda expression, then the expression will actually be hidden in parts where the D.S. measure is part of a multimeasure rest. So you will have to remember to

Hi Darcy, Yes, I get this. Thanks. I just haven't worked up the courage to implement it - fear of forgetting to include the show parts only expression. Perhaps if there's a way to enter that in the score and have it hidden there and show in the part, and I don't have to reenter it in the
