[Finale] Copying staff styles

[Lon Price]

No matter what I do, I can't get staff styles to copy into parts.  I  
can copy them in the score, and they copy correctly, but they don't  
show up in the parts.  I make sure that I have selected "Use Selected  
Staff Style in Score and Parts," but the copied staff styles still  
don't show up in parts.  Solution?

Have you check "copy" in the staff style definition?

[John Blane]

It sounds like a procedural problem. You can't have "Use Selected Staff Style 
in Score and Parts" *selected* exactly. 

Try this; in the score view, highlight each staff that has staff styles present 
(or all staves, shouldn't matter). Now in the Staff Tool Menu or control-click 
on a highlighted staff and now choose, "Use Selected Staff Style in Score and 
Parts" and they should then appear properly in the parts.

You're not alone in missing procedures that become obvious in hindsight.

Re: [Finale] Copying staff styles

[Lon Price]

For this project I'm only using slashes and rhythmic notation, both of  
which are "copyable" in their definition, but John Blane had the  
solution.

Re: [Finale] Copying staff styles

[Chuck Israels]

This works consistently for me - and you can do it globally with"Select All".  
At least I have had no problem with this. But if I had a wish list, I'd like a 
default preference that made this selection work the opposite way - that you'd 
have to deselect "Show selected style in parts", since I'd choose this option 
far less often.

When did Finale quit having Encore as a viable import type on the File:import

I see it was in Finale 2009.
Going back to some old files today.

Re: [Finale] How to move rehearsal letter on top staff in score only? (Fin2012)

I've run into similar problems trying to get parts and score to look  
right.  I found that the simplest solution is to have two separate  
files - one as "parts" and one as "score."  Problem solved.

Re: [Finale] How to move rehearsal letter on top staff in score only? (Fin2012)

[Robert Patterson]

I have wrestled with this, too. I can't remember exactly, but I would start
with:

1 Everything at default.
2 Unlink in score
3 Move top staff where you want it
4 Select handle violin staff and hit "clear". This should restore it to
default position.

But every time you move the top mark you will have to go back and clear it
in the violin staff.

Re: [Finale] How to move rehearsal letter on top staff in score only? (Fin2012)

[Darcy James Argue]

Hi Robert,

That method actually clears the positioning on the top staff as well! Hence my 
frustration.

However, while messing around with it just now, however, I discovered that if I 
invoke the Expression Assignment dialog box on the rehearsal letter attached to 
the Violin I staff, I can enter an offset of zero in both boxes and it will 
return to the default position without touching the top staff. So that would 
seem to be the best method to use going forward.

Cheers,

- DJA

[Finale] How to move rehearsal letter on top staff in score only? (Fin2012)

[Darcy James Argue]

Hi all,

Let's say you have boxed rehearsal letters set up to show up above the top 
score staff and the Violin I staff in an orchestral score. And let's say you 
want to move ONLY the rehearsal letter above the top score staff, ONLY in the 
score.

I have yet to find an effective method for doing this. Has anyone sorted out a 
good workflow?

If you move the rehearsal letter in the score, it moves it everywhere 
(including the violin staff in the score, and all parts). This is as expected.

However, if you unlink the rehearsal letter in the score (or hold the override 
key and drag) and move the top rehearsal letter in the score, the rehearsal 
letter showing on the violin staff also moves. You can move the rehearsal 
letter showing on the violin staff independently, but whenever you adjust the 
rehearsal letter attached to the top score staff, the rehearsal letters showing 
on other staves move with it.

It is possible to go to the top part (let's say it's the Flute 1 part), hold 
down the override key, and drag the top rehearsal letter. That moves the 
rehearsal letter in the top score staff as well without affecting the rehearsal 
letter attached to the Violin I staff. But possibly you don't *want* to move it 
in the part, meaning you'd have to unlink it in the part after dragging with 
the override key and remove manual adjustments. But that is a lot of work just 
to make a simple adjustment in the score, and also involves a certain amount of 
guesswork since you are trying to adjust the positioning of a score element by 
moving it in the part!

Has anyone figured out a better way to do this?

Cheers,
