Hi,
I am quite new to Finale (but not to arranging), and now I try to create a
bass part which to most part should be slash notated with chords, but some
bars should contain notes (and possibly chords). I have added quarter
rests into most bars and attached chords to these. Some bars contains

parts in a big band score was discovered

When arranging for big band, there might be for instance three separate

To only do it in the parts seems to me to be a quite crippled solution. I
guess this means that you can't see in the score what the part is going to
show; which I would consider to be a big problem for the score reader.
I have also had large hassle with staff styles. Most often, some staves

I have been explicitely asked by my drummer to try to keep the drum part
