Haha, since I inadvertently started this interesting debate I dare to
comment it :-)
My original situation was quite simple - a big band arrangement with an
open 32 -bar section for solos. All repeats but the last are identical. No
backgrounds or anything in this particular solo section (there
Good repeats are nice simple ones that just repeat a whole passage,
especially if they economise on pages turns.
Bad repeats are those that say first time round jump to B, second
time round play these 8 measures, then jump to D, third time round
play everything up to E, then jump to Coda

So you're saying the 32nd beam stub on the G is facing the wrong
direction?
Would that also mean that you would expect to see a 16th beam stub as
well (facing backwards)?
Just trying to document this...

Hmm, I may remember reading that, now.
How come my Finale only told me that, today? I use it every day.
Maybe I have it set to check only periodically.
Well, anyway - _I_ needed a reminder! Looks like a good update, if it
all works.

I think I understand the mix-up. My fault entirely. I meant staff lists
of course. Can't remember what score lists used to be called, I think
they were staff sets,
For expressions, we now have:
- Score Lists (formerly staff lists) which are useful for situations
where expressions are assigned differently in score and in parts (for
example, tempo markings that will probably appear in the score only
over the top staff and the 1. Violin staff, but will
I can think of something right now that would need more score lists.
I use one for tempo marks, right out of the default settings.
For the others, I can easily run through seven sets of expressions
that I need in the parts but not the score, like a notation saying
tpt solo on the parts that
I've noticed that when I use the Note Position tool to move a grace note,
that unlike moving normal notes, the grace notes automatically snap back
into their original position whenever I enter additional music in subsequent
measures. I'll come back and find any grace notes that were moved have not
This can be accomplished a couple of different ways with the new
staff assignment functionality:
For example, add the tpt solo to the Technique Text group.
Down at the bottom of the selection dialog, note the assign button
click the little pop-up menu next to it.
