It seems obvious that most of us agree that it is better for the parts to make every instruments separate (4 different parts). But as far as it is possible if the music is not too complex to allow it, I would try to put 2 instrument for one staff in the score. It is I think the most common practice, and it saves vertical space. The fact that Finale does not make these parts extract automatically is not a reason to change the way it has always (???) been. Just my opinion. Eric _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
