Perhaps this has been covered before, but now that I finally have
MacFin2007c up and running, I'll ask.
Is there a way to have bar numbers different in the score from the
linked parts?
*I want my bar numbers to appear on the parts to be every bar in
small case below the bar.
*I want my bar numbers to appear on the score in large case above
the top part in a rectangle box.
Is there any way to do that?
All the best,

Yes it's possible, but No, it's not easy.
It's not too bad if you have a single measure number region, which
Finale 2007 makes possible thanks to it's new Measure Attribute checkbox
labeled "include in measure numbers."
You define two different regions. One you set to be how you want it
(position, size, enclosure, etc.) for the score and the other you set to
be how you want it for the parts. Depending on the view you're working
in (score or one of the parts) you set that measure number region to
display however you want it to starting with measure 1. You define the
other region (which will be used for the other view) to display however
you want it to starting with measure 500 (or some number larger than
your work is, so it never displays).
When you switch views, you have to then redefine the measure number
regions so that the appropriate view will show starting with measure
number 1 and the unused region to start showing with measure number 500
(or the large number you need so it won't appear at all.)
Heaven help you, though, if you have more than one region. You would
need to go through all that with two different regions for every single
region in the actual music.
Definitely something to petition Finale about (many of us have, but
update patch c has come and gone with no change on this feature.)
