Re: [Finale] Staff styles in linked parts design issue
Still on this subject: There are bugs (in my experience). Save score with correct staff styles, print parts (to pdf, in this case), parts are correct, close score, re-open two days later and print parts, some staff styles have wandered to incorrect places. Nothing was done to the score in the interim, no editing - nothing. This is buggy, no question about it.

Re: [Finale] Staff styles in linked parts design issue
you can also set the style to be non-copyable Again, if I recall correctly, the problem is triggered by copying staff styles in the score. I believe the workaround is to always deselect "Staff Styles" in "Items to Copy," and instead apply staff styles in the score using metatools. -- shirling & neueweise ... new music publishers mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] :.../ http://newmusicnotation.com ___ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
Re: [Finale] Cahnge chord suffixes in multiple files?
Henrik, It can be done, but not globally (all at once). Import the library with the new suffixes you want. They will appear in the document's chord suffix library list below the ones that are already there. Click on a spot that doesn't have a chord to bring up the selection dialog, making sure you have "show advanced" open in the chord selection window. Click on "select" (down at the bottom) and you'll get the entire list. Delete each unwanted suffix in turn, and you will be asked which suffix you want to replace it with. Scroll down the list to the new suffix you want and select it. Repeat the process until done. Takes a few minutes for each document, and it's a pain, but I don't know any other, more efficient, way do accomplish this. Chuck On Apr 4, 2007, at 6:02 AM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi!

You have to open a file, import the library, then go to the Chord Suffix Selection dialogue box and delete each old suffix in turn. You will get a message that the suffix is being used if it appears in the score, and do you want to replace it. Say yes, and find the NEW imported suffix, then OK your way back to the Chord Selection dialogue box and repeat for the next suffix. Now, I have done this so often that I see a way to make it a lot faster with a small programming change. If the warning said, Suffix "X" is being used, do you want to replace it? then I could have selected a whole bunch of suffixes at once and deleted them as a group. Whenever it came across one that was being used, I would be asked and the suffix identified. Right now the suffix is NOT identified, and I run the risk of replacing the wrong one. If the program worked as I suggest, I wouldn't have to delete them one at a time. If all your songs were in ONE file, then you would only have to do this once for the document. As it stands, you have to repeat the whole procedure on each file. It should only take about five to ten minutes for each file (less if there aren't many different suffixes being replaced), but I know, you could be relaxing and having a beer instead...

Re: [Finale] Staff styles in linked parts design issue
Darcy et al, Yes, I will test for that as soon as I finish this current chart (due tomorrow!) The workaround is a pain, as I often have areas where the overlapped and partial-measure staff styles come fast and furious, but I should be able to choose Reset Staff Styles to Score to avoid it, shouldn't I?

These two things are related. A staff style entered in a part will only appear in the part, and it can only be cleared from the part. A staff style entered in the score will appear in both score and part, and clearing it from the score clears it from the part as well.
