You don't say what version you're using but that ability got broken in 2012 (I think, don't do it from Finale). I suggest you print normal 9x13 pages to PDF and use Acrobat to print 2-up.

Re: [Finale] One part of 21 = staggered barlines
You can hide the barlines on that one staff with a staff style set to hide barlines - then make yourself a "barline" as an expression and metatool it where you need it.

Re: [Finale] Measures missing in extracted parts (Win2014a)
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. My preference is to leave that unchecked so my suggestion is to generate parts (re-generate them) only after your score is complete. John Blane Blane Music Preparation 1649 Huntington Ln.

Re: [Finale] Copying staff styles
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.

Re: [Finale] FinWin 2011 - Transposing instruments
Christopher is right, as usual - this is the way to go. Set up a staff style with the transposition set to "other" and these numbers: interval=2 and Key alter= -9, Apply it to your Alto part when you change to the A major section.

Re: [Finale] EXPORT AS MP3
I neglected to mention that you must also "Play Through Midi" for the MP3 option to be a available.

Re: [Finale] GROUPS, barlines, instr names
Can't be sure what is happening without seeing it but try this: Go back to your score and make sure you have defined the piano group throughout the whole chart. Now return to the part and change the group to not display the name. That might fix your problem. Generating the piano part again may also do it but you may not want lose the work you've done on it. Also, make sure you're changing the group definition to not display the name as opposed to deleting it. You can definitely have the score label and remove it in the part - there just seems to be a necessary order to doing it. Hope that helps! John Blane Blane Music Preparation 1649 Huntington Ln.

Re: [Finale] TGTOOLS in 2012b
I can't help thinking that if MM ever had a handle on how we worked with Finale, they might have integrated the kinds of plug-ins and innovations we have come to depend on Tobias for. They are indispensable, indeed. I would not assume that MM could pick up where he left off or "maintain" TGTools as is. MM has redesigned the staff systems in each of the last 2 versions among other improvements/changes. It is no wonder that TGTools doesn't work the same in this area without an update from Tobias. It seems to me that Jari is our future and is slowly providing all of the functionality of TGTools and then some that is up-to-date. It may be more beneficial for us to support his efforts than to look to MM to fill these needs. John Blane Blane Music Preparation 1649 Huntington Ln.

Re: [Finale] Piano not so grand staff?
Yes, you can remove the empty staff. 2 things to check: 1) in the staff attribute for the LH staff, make sure the "Allow hiding when empty" box is checked 2) Staff Tool: double click on one of the Brace handles to access the group definition. Next to "When Hiding Empty Staves", make sure "Hide Normally" is showing Changing either one of these option should now let you hide the empty staff.

Re: [Finale] Trombone mute holders - advice
Hi Darcy - Those products are both designed for the size and weight of trumpet mutes - I wouldn't trust it. I have been in similar situations like you describe and we used bar stools to set our mutes on which kept them high enough to be accessible. Good luck! JB On Apr 4, 2011, at 2:03 PM, Darcy James Argue wrote: Hi all, For an upcoming show, all the brass and wind players in my bigband will be standing (normally, trombones and winds are seated). The trombones have some quick mute changes, which are obviously much more difficult when standing than when seated. I'm wondering if any of the trombone players on this list have any recommendations for the clip-on trombone mute holders that clip to the music stand? They'd need to support multiple mutes. Here are two examples (don't know anything about either of them, and also both are "currently unavailable): http://www.amazon.com/Jo-Ral-Trombone-Mute-Holder/dp/B0007L6OGQ http://www.indianamusic.com/muterack_main.htm Neither of them seem like they'd accommodate a trombone bucket mute.

Re: [Finale] Chord suffix placement
Carl - Look at Chords in the Doc Options and you'll find 3 boxes that will allow you to adjust the baselines of accidentals (alterations) on chords.
