Hello Finale -
I am having trouble combining three pieces of music (MUS files) into one
continuous piece of music. I guess it's a "cut and paste," or "copy and
append." operation. But I can't seeem to make it work for 3 separate
files. How do I put them together into one score?
No problem using MASS EDIT within one score.
Assuming there is a way to do this with three separate MUS files, do the
staffs all have to match up re type and ordering?
Yes. You can't easily take a bass clef bassoon staff and append that
music to a piccolo staff.
But you can take the music from one file and do just what you want to
do, only it's not really copy and paste. It's copy (use mass-edit tool,
ctrl-a to select everything, then ctrl-c to copy it all) and insert (add
one empty measure to the end of the first file, then highlight it and
from the Edit menu click on Insert.
This won't work properly if your first file has 3 staves per system and
your second file has 5 staves. But if you have, for instance, 3
movements from a larger work, all with the same number of staves and
most likely the same clefs, transpositions, etc., you can fairly easily
combine them into one single file.
