I am experimenting with the changing settings for extracting parts (according to the advice of list gurus). I have always used a page reduction of 82% for letter size parts, with pretty good results. However, I understand the advantages of consistent text sizes for titles, headers, etc. that comes from leaving the page at 100%.
Here's the question: If you change the setting for staff height (for example, from 96 evpus to 80 evpus) the dialog box shows a resulting staff reduction of 83% - pretty close to what I had with the whole page reductions. But - you can also enter a reduction number in the staff reduction box and leave the staff height setting alone, in which case, what do you get? What changes? Are both vertical and horizontal spacings changed (assuming "hold margins")? There seems to be the usual redundancy built in to Finale here. I don't mind. I'd just appreciate hearing from someone who understands just what each of these settings controls.
