[Finale] attach text to last page in document

2014-05-13 Thread SN jef chippewa

does anyone have a trick to set up a template with text on the last 
page taht will work even when measures are added / deleted in the 
course of making a SC?  i tried by setting up a blank page at the end 
of the document but when measures get added, they are added AFTER the 
blank page.  and when measures are deleted in the middle of the 
document, the last blank page disappears.

How about a blank last measure with text attached (which you can make zero 
width), and INSERTing the extra measures in front of it, rather than ADDing 
measures at the end?

Hi Jeff,

Would it be an option to use measure-attached text on an invisible final 
measure? (Of course, any preceding measures would need to be inserted rather 
than added.)

Cheers,

- DJA

Re: [Finale] attach text to last page in document

2014-05-13 Thread SN jef chippewa

peter, darcy, thanks but this is for a template i am helping a 
business set up who has many different collaborators on their 
projects and it should be an easy solution.  because of the number 
of people involved some might forget to insert instead of adding 
measures or something.  also the text is supposed to be positioned on 
the page, not in relation to a measure: page size varies according to 
project but that wouldn't be a problem if the information could be 
aligned centre H and V.

i am thinking the best is simply going to be for them to add it (as a 
PDF graphic) in the final stage of the production.

[Finale] Why isn't this simple - or working - or both?

2014-05-13 Thread Katherine Hoover
OK... I have a score on Finale 2011 (Mac) for string instruments and I'm trying 
to extract parts.  (This used to be simple!!).  I follow the instructions and 
hit extract parts.  No parts show up in the space like they do in the computer 
instructions; only one square for score.  I try highlighting parts.  NG.  I try 
hitting the marks for each line.  They turn red.  NG.   I go on this way, 
trying whatever I can think of.  NG.  Nothing changes - only a square for 
score shows up, no parts. 
What am I missing? Help, and thanks ahead of time.

The parts have to be generated first. I find even if I have to extract parts to 
separate files (and I don't very often, as I much prefer to leave them linked 
in the same file) if I do most of the heavy lifting format-wise in the LINKED 
part, then there is very little to do in the extracted part. Especially if I 
have to edit later.

If you don't have to extract, I wouldn't. Leave the parts linked if at all 
possible.

Christopher
