what I would try is this......... make a copy of the file and open it run the Data Check utility - all options under file maintenace checked resave the file and then try the reduction procedures
if it fails again I would then....... remove all optimization and staff styles that might be present check all systems to see if any have been forced to a next page and undo that option where needed if so using mass mover respace notes through the entire piece make sure update layout is set to remove previous layout and reflow across pages and systems update the layout & save the file try the reduction process again if it fails again I would redefine all pages, setting the page size to 8.5x11 run update layout again save the file try the reduction procedures again failing all this I dunno what I'd do except write this list, too! hoping this helps- Cecil Rigby [EMAIL PROTECTED] Liberty, SC ----- Original Message ----- From: Herman Gersten To: finale@shsu.edu Sent: Thursday, November 08, 2007 8:26 PM Subject: [Finale] Piano reductions (2nd try) Dear List, No one responded to this query. I wonder if the list received it. > A composer friend wants a piano reduction of a complex 35 page > score for 3 orchestras. Page size 11 X 17. > Using the piano reduction plug-in, Finale completed the reduction > but it was not visible in Page View, only in Studio and Scroll views. > > I thought that page size might have something to do with this > problem, but lengthening the file's page size to 11 x 22 still did > not produce the "missing" reduction. > > I tested the plug-in on a woodwind quintet score. There was no > problem. The reduction appeared at the bottom of the page as it is > supposed to. > > Ideas?
