with the 1st 7 styles you would solve the majority of the cases
You also need octave transposition ones for double bass, in particular. The problem is certainly not intractable: just a bit messy. Remember, for cues you will likely need clef changes even for instruments that do not usually have clef changes, like Eb Alto Sax, A Clarinet, and Piccolo. Btw, if you use C scores, this plan fails entirely. I have been toying with going back to C scores, esp. for chamber works. In these cases, I actually leave "Display in Concert Pitch" off and have a transposed copy of each staff of each transposing instrument. The score shows only the non-transposing staves while the parts for the transposing instruments show the transposed staves. It is a compromise, but a pretty decent compromise, esp. if only a few staves transpose. you can erase staff styles from partial measures, although this only
works in around 98% of the cases i have tried it in,
Even if you manage to pierce one of the many chinks in Finale's armor and erase a partial measure of a clef-transposing style, it does you no good. If the staff style is assigned at the beginning of the measure, clef changes are suppressed throughout the measure. And I believe I recall that if you assign it not at the beginning it has no effect: or wierd effects. Plugins can easily assign any staff style to any partial measure, and I played with this awhile back. I prefer to find workarounds that exploit Finale's documented feature set rather than those that exploit quirky behaviors that easily may not survive in the next release. _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
