Re: [Finale] large time sigs / +

[Michael Cook]

Yes, it seems like an oversight: it ought to be possible to set the  
vertical position of the plus sign. I can only come up with  
workarounds, either:


1. You could set the plus sign to a blank character, then add it as  
an expression.


or

2. If you prefer keeping the plus sign as it is, you are forced to  
move the time signature staff upwards. To remove the extra bit of  
left barline, you could first turn off display of left barlines, then  
create a "fake" left barline using a group bracket or a smart line.


I think I'd use the first method. Good luck - that score looks like a  
lot of hard work.

am i missing something or is this some strange oversight on the  
part of finale?  you can set the vertical position for upper and  
lower numbers, but not the + sign!?


the issue is that i need larger time sigs on the score; they  
thought this one out in the linked parts, there are different  
settings for font and positioning score/parts... but nowhere can  
you set the + sign vertical positioning?


it is (still) impossible to use a separate staff at the top of the  
score for ONLY time sigs and tempos which sits **above** the rest  
of the staves!?!?!  (staff set to show nothing but measure  
expressions and time sigs)  because the left barline will always  
extend from the topmost staffline of the entire system.


so i have set the top staff (time sig staff) to exactly the same  
positioning as the top instrument staff and positioned the time sig  
#s so they sit above the staff... however, the + sign sits in the  
staff at the proper position ONLY at 24pt.


is there another solution that i can't see at the moment?  (you  
can't set the left barline to invisible for only one staff)


ack.

see top left in this file 


hope someone has some crazy solution i am blind to at the moment...
