Can anyone help with this?
I have figured out a great deal of the operation of the linked parts
but haven't deciphered this one:
I have added title pages (2) to the score only - that works fine, but
now I'd like the main title text block to show up only on the title
page of the score, but remain where it is in the parts (on p.1 of the
part, which now looks like p.3 of the score). If I move it, even if
I unlink it, it disappears in the parts. How does one manage this?
If I duplicate the title for the title page and leave the original
one it where it is on (what is now) p.3 of the score, the p.3 title
is too big for the score (but correct for the parts, which is why I
made it that size in the first place). Sorry, if I'm being a little
too detailed in the description of this, but I want to make my
thinking, and my problem, clear. (Maybe my thinking, or lack thereof
is my problem!)
Hi David,
I have done most of this successfully.
Enter the Title block in two places -- the one where you want it to
show in the Score, and the other where you want it to show in the
Parts, complete with the different font sizes/styles, etc.
This part is done.
Then you set the one you want only in the Score so that it won't print
in the parts (you need to to this I think for each part)
This part is easy - since the extra pages inserted before what was p. 1
in the score don't show up in the parts, and that's where the score
title is.
and then set the other one so that it won't print in the Score.
Well, this is the tricky part. When you delete the title in the score
(I mean the one that is now on p. 3 and is linked to the parts, the one
that appears on p. 1 of the parts - where it needs to be), it disappears
from the parts. Of course, it can be copied to the clipboard and
replaced in each part individually, but I can't figure out how to do it
once and have it appear in all parts without also appearing in the score
where I don't want it. If you can see anything I'm overlooking, please
let me know. It is all too easy to overlook things when working in
unfamiliar systems, and it does seem to me that this is something that
MM people have probably thought of and included in the linked parts. I
think I just haven't figured it out, and now it's almost 3 AM, and I
have no idea why I am still up.
Don't delete the second title block in the score -- Uncheck the SHOW
attribute in the right-click menu for that block in the score. It'll
become lighter to indicate it's there but won't show/print.
So the two title blocks -- one on p.1 in the score and the one on p. 3
of the score/p.1 of the parts -- will both remain in both parts and
score. But with the attribute set not to show, the block won't print
for that score or part where you set that attribute, and that attribute
will unlock that text block from the score or parts. But you can't
delete it -- this is one area where Finale definitely needs improvement.
It should be possible to enter a text block in either score or a
single part or only certain parts and not have to monkey around like
this with all text blocks being present in all score/parts and needing
to jump through hoops to get it to print or not as desired.
