This is one reason (among many) why separate files for separate movements is a dreadful idea to begin with.
Good point. I may need to revise my work methods (horrors!).
(One solution would be to forget about page numbers in Finale and add them later in Acrobat.)
I thought about that but hoped to have Finale take care of it automatically.
Anyway, text tool text cannot be added to "just one part," or even "just the score." By default, text tool text shows up in all parts plus the score. It can be *hidden* from selected parts, or the score, but it can't be modified or deleted without affecting all parts/score.
Yes, but if I understand it correctly now, that's awkward (because you'd have to hide a _lot_ of text blocks as you do each part). I think putting all movements in one file would help.
I can think of one instance where several movements in one file might be awkward to deal with: suppose each movement uses a different set of the instruments from the tutti? Wouldn't optimization be rather time consuming? If you had a separate file with just those instruments, optimization would be quick and easy.
