in page view (where your problem staff appears), i was able to control-click (mac) the staff handle and select delete staves. done. does this not work for you? in scroll view, the barlines on the 2 non-existent staves at the bottom of your score i do no believe you will get rid of. but when

Thanks. I did use the hide empty staves command, and I was was able to get rid of the staff by doing the following: with empty staves shown, including the ghost stave, I choose hide empty staves followed by show empty staves. It vanished. However it came back later. So I repeated the process a

A simple score that would take me a few hours to finish has already taken me a day and a half. All sorts of unexpected behaviors occur. I've been deleting linked parts and creating them again over and over due to missing measures in parts, the reason of which I haven't the faintest idea. Why

One detail: the measure appears in scroll view, but not in page view. Is there a way to force it to show? On 11/05/2013, at 11:44, Haroldo Mauro wrote: A simple score that would take me a few hours to finish has already taken me a day and a half. All sorts of unexpected behaviors occur.

you should look a little closer into the staff tool (RTFM): hide and delete are two fundamentally different functions!!! glad it got solved, in any case ___ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale

Try breaking multimeasure rests, then recreate them. I've noticed odd things with this sometimes, but it's always been an easy fix. Hope this works for you! Giz Richmond |-Original Message- |From: finale-boun...@shsu.edu [mailto:finale-boun...@shsu.edu] On Behalf Of |Haroldo Mauro |Sent:

if you have the auto-update function in the MM rests options UNchecked and add music to a measure previously contained in a MM rest, you will have to select the MM rest and re-create it if that isn't it then you have bigger problems :-) it is good practice to only generate PTs once the SC is

No need to break. Just select all and create. Create for all parts and score while you're at it. This happens to me so often I don't even think about it any more. Christopher On Sat May 11, at SaturdayMay 11 11:24 AM, Girard Bowe wrote: Try breaking multimeasure rests, then recreate them.

Another shortcut - thanks! And I think you can go straight to the Edit menu to do parts score without selecting all. You would only need select all to break multi-measure rests. I do miss having a hardcopy of the manual. How many little things do we do that others would love to know? I just

the disadvantage of doing all parts at once is that any edits you have done to the MM rests (width, ends of symbol to avoid clef changes) will be set to the default ___ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu

I don't get it. I'm sure everybody knows the difference, no need to RTFM. I said the ghost staff disappeared after hiding empty staves FOLLOWED by SHOWING empty staves. Then, when ALL were SHOWING again, the extra staff was GONE. That's how I got rid of it. Harold On 11/05/2013, at 12:09, SN
