[Finale] Clefs in linked parts

2012-12-25 Thread Lee Actor
Is it really true that the clef in a part can't be unlinked from the clef in the score? There's a legitimate need for this, e.g., a bassoon or trombone staff shared by 2 parts, both of which in the score are in tenor clef (to save space), but the lower voice in the part should be in bass clef

All of them require workarounds. The 8va thing I would to with an octave transposing staff style (in the part). For different clefs on a shared staff, you could try changing the instrument of the part only. That, or using a transposing staff style that imposes the clef you want. Many times I

Yeah...interesting indeed. Never seen that before. You've described the chords correctly as 7(b9), so why not go with what the parts are saying? Jim Sent from my iPhone, so please pardon all the typos. On Dec 26, 2012, at 12:49 AM, dershem ders...@cox.net wrote: On 12/25/2012 9:09 PM,

Sure...glad to help. I see some logic to it now--in D9(flat), the flat 9 is indeed flat--e flat. For E9(natural), the flat 9 is F natural. Still odd. ;-0 Sent from my iPhone, so please pardon all the typos. On Dec 26, 2012, at 1:03 AM, dershem ders...@cox.net wrote: On 12/25/2012 9:54 PM,
