Re: [Finale] DS al Coda question
Hello Holiday greetings, I am working on some jazz piano charts and I have one which has a two measure coda at the bottom of the page. Currently I have the measures just before the coda separated from the coda with a double bar line. My question: Since many practices which were once common go away with time, is it still common practice to separate the coda section from the rest of the music with blank space? If so, can someone suggest a method of creating the blank space. I have enough room on the page to create a sliver of space and still not crowd the music, however, I really don't want to add another page for two measures.

Re: [Finale] DS al Coda question
If you want brackets, clefs, etc. make a separate system for the Coda. Make the last system shorter, and start the Coda system over on the right past the end of the previous system. Make sure Avoid Margin Collisions isn't checked in the Page Layout menu, and drag or set margins numerically to bring the Coda System up level with the one before. If you don't want clefs and so forth simply insert a short blank measure before the Coda, and hide it with a Staff Style.

If you mean that you want the Coda on the same line as some other music and it is separated by a shim of blank space, insert an extra bar, and apply a staff style to it that has the staff setting set to 0 with full barline. That effectively makes a bar with no lines - which is blank space if you put nothing in it or hide things in it. -- Simon Troup Digital Music Art Real-time Finale discussion - http://www.finaleirc.com ___ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale

Thank you very much! You're very welcome. I use them all the time if the coda is just a couple of bars, to me they're still very much in fashion :) -- Simon Troup Digital Music Art Real-time Finale discussion - http://www.finaleirc.com ___ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
