Collective wisdom,
I can't seem to find an elegant way to do this:
(Mac OS 10.5.5, Finale 2009b)
I'd like to have rehearsal markings that are measure numbers, that are
enclosed, and that have the functionality of the newly-named score list (top
line of the score, all parts).
I know I can do this as an expression, but I like clicking on a measure
(with the measure tool) and having the correct measure number show up.
Here's what I go through (I'm working on a string quartet):
1. Opt-shift a measure: inserts measure numbers on all staves
(though oddly, only the top one is enclosed)
2. Select handles of the lower three numbers, then
a. Double-click handle to assign enclosure
b. Right-click to Unlink in All Parts
c. Right-click to Show/Hide Based on Region
Using expressions -- create one once, then duplicate and edit actual measure
numbers -- is much simpler. But is there an even simpler way?
(Of course, it probably took me longer to write this email than to have gone
through the entire score creating measure number rehearsal marks using
Expressions, but I'm thinking of my next project).
Thanks!
Andrew Levin
