Re: [Finale] Ossia, I think
Yeah, the ossia tool with a scratch staff seems to be the easiest to manage.

Thanks. I'll chew on this for a bit. Dean On Oct 23, 2005, at 3:04 PM, Owain Sutton wrote: Christopher Smith wrote: On Oct 23, 2005, at 5:47 PM, Dean M.

I'll check the ossia proceedure, but if I want just note heads, what's the process? I think that's called an incipit. This might be in the Finale manual (search under the term) or Jari Williamsson's Finale Tips site explains it, too, I think I remember seeing. I have never used one, so I won't venture a methodical description. I suspect using the Ossia tool is a good option - if you just want noteheads, apply an independent time signature via staff styles, with a time sig of something like 5/1, enter semibreves for the notes needed, and change them to whichever noteheads you want. ___ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale ___ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale

Re: [Finale] Ossia, I think
Two options for this: 1) Ossia tool as mentioned 2) A new (additional) first bar in the timpani part. Set the next bar (the first real bar of music) to the correct measure number, and start a new staff system, then reduce the right hand margin of the first line accordingly.

This is not too different from the bells used part of a handbell score; you might check the handbell template, and see how it is handled there. ns ___ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
