Re: [Finale] Ossias, I think
It looks pretty good, but I think you should find a way of either moving some chord symbols closer to the system to which the belong, or putting more space between the staves. Particularly the chords on system 4 are uncomfortably close to the triplet indications on the system above. You could try Christopher’s suggestion of making four lines of three bars each, or maybe shorten the stems of the eighth note kicks.

In addition to co-signing everything Chris said: The pickup measure is much too wide. 2 mm./system on systems 1, 2, and 4 is much too loose. 3 mm/system throughout prior to solos would be better. You need stems down on the B and D in the main staff in mm.7-8 and m.12. You need to configure your file so that the rhythm section hits do not affect stem or tie direction in the main staff. Also, any ties on the rhythm section hits should go above, not below. The sixteenth tuplet in m.10 needs a bracket and the number needs adjustment. The Emi7(b5) symbol in m.12 should move to the right, and the F13 symbol should move left and up to avoid collision. You need to make it clear that there is a chord on each eighth note hit — right now it looks like both hits are on Emi7(b5). Also, the internal spacing of the Emi7(b5) symbol could be much improved so that it doesn't take up so much space. Stems could be a bit thicker and barlines thicker still. Staff lines, stem lines, and barlines should be set to a different thickness. The diminished circle symbol does not have the handwritten look — it appears to come from a different font than the other chord suffixes. Finally, I'd use slash and diamond noteheads for the hits, not X's.

Really not a fan. Doesn't look much like the actual stamps copyists would use, nor do I think it's necessary or desirable to replicate a stamped look in the first place.

Re: [Finale] Terrible bug in FM2014a
MM recognized the error and outlined the workaround I already had used, as I had no time to wait. Their reply: Hello Klaus - Thanks for contacting MakeMusic customer support. I created some quick test files and I was able to replicate and confirm the behavior. It looks like Transpose all Key Proportionally isn't properly able to distinguish between corresponding major and minor key signatures -- if they share the same key signature this function is treating with the same transposition. Transpose All Keys Proportionately worked fine in all other cases between both major and minor keys with different signatures. This definitely looks like incorrect behavior for this tool, so I've gone ahead and written this up review by our product management team. Hopefully this can be scoped and fixed in a future update or release. In the meantime, the best workaround would probably be to select Measure X until next key change under Measure Region, then do each key signature section separately. It's a little bit more time consuming as you'll have to bring up that Key Signature dialogue several times, but it should ensure that you get the correct key signature in place for all measures.

[Finale] Measures missing in extracted parts (Win2014a)
When conducting a rehearsal for some pieces I recently arranged, two players discovered they were missing measures. The printed measure numbers at the beginning of each staff were correct, but there weren't enough bars in that staff line. No measures of rest, or multimeasure rests were involved - it was continuous music. The bars had simply disappeared in the parts. When I got to the computer, I selected the offending area, chose to break multimeasure rests, and the missing measures appeared. Apparently, when I extracted the parts and created the multimeasure rests, these bars were interpreted by the program as being rests and were hidden. This has happened from time to time. I really don't think it's right that I should have to verify that every measure of music is present in an extracted part. Does anybody have an idea what causes this, or how to prevent it?

My community band even purchased an arrangement that had been done in Finale (back around 98 or so) and was missing some measures in some of the parts. I called the publisher (very small publisher) and pointed out that the solution was to update the layout (ctrl-u). I remember that was one of those things (like ctrl-s to save) that I learned early on to do every so many measures so as to keep things visible and not lose unsaved work and not have measures hidden in what I thought was the finished product. I would have thought the automatic update layout feature that was added a few versions ago would have taken care of that, but if for some reason that was turned off for that file, it would account for the problem. -- David H.

This problem will occur when parts are generated automatically before all of the music is entered and Update Automatically is unchecked in the Multimeasure rest options.

I would be willing to bet that the missing measures were inside a multimeasure rest. You wouldn't even see the rest in the parts if music were added after the multimeasure rests were created.

Re: [Finale] Measures missing in extracted parts (Win2014a)
This is a good one-step practice that I will now adopt along with the Staff Tool - Select all in the score and use selected staff styles for score and parts, another time saving step that I use as I rarely want different staff styles in the parts. (I know, sometimes it's useful.) Thanks for reminding me that this can be done globally. It should help prevent the hidden measure problem that I sometimes encounter as a result of my own carelessness.
