On Finale 2008 on my Mac, I am doing a two stave keyboard part
(continuo realization). I did a "save as" from my full orchestral
score, added a blank staff above the cello/string bass part at the
bottom of the score, then deleted all the wind, string and voice
parts, leaving me with the two stave keyboard part that I wanted. I
set the entire file to 82% size (my stats, not the issue here). For
some unknown reason, on the last page with six systems, the first
three systems are the size I want (same size as all previous
pages), but the last three systems on this page are considerably
smaller in print (I'm in page view).
I can't figure out why this is happening (I even deleted these
measures and started to speedy note in the music again, thinking it
would solve my problem). Anyone have any suggestions?
First of all, WHY is it happening; who knows? It's a bug. Happens to
me all the time. It has to do with the last time you invoked Resize
Systems, as far as I can tell, and it makes all new systems that size
until you invoke it again and enter a new value.
More importantly, how to fix it; use the Resize Tool (looks like a
percent sign) click between the staves AFTER the time signature (make
sure you have invoked Resize System and NOT Resize Staff, Note, or
Page) and enter the new zoom value. If you do this on the last system
that IS the correct size, the value will already be entered, and all
you have to do then is to specify that it apply from that system to
the end of the piece.
I have to do this so often I am considering making a macro for it.
MakeMusic claims it was fixed, but it isn't.
There is another way that is supposed to work to fix this, but it
doesn't work, so I won't even bother.
