Thanks Aaron,
My window doesn't look like this. It only shows Piano LH and Piano
RH, so I have to combine them to create a piano part. It's not a big
deal. I have done that in the template and then grouped the staves
in the part. I assume this grouping will stick for any scores I
create with the template. I don't quite get why this works as it
does in your example and not in mine.
Not so important, though.
Chuck

For starters, I assume you're working from an old file, because the
wizard should take care of this for you on new scores. If I have an
old score that contains a grouped piano grand staff, when I go to
the Manage Parts dialog and hit the Generate Parts button, Finale
automatically creates a piano part for me, with the group intact.
Doesn't this work for you?
Or if you're doing things by hand, go to Manage Parts and hit New
Part. In the listbox at the right, you should see Piano as one of
your choices. You want to select this item and add it to the part,
not the two staves listed beneath it. See <http://aaron.sherber.com/

I think I remember seeing a bug report involving this, but I don't
remember the details.
Aaron.
