Re: [Finale] Fin2011: Hiding key sig change in cutaway staff
In document preferences you can turn off courtesy key sig announcements. I've not found a sensible way to achieve both kinds in the same piece. Actually opaque boxes is my preferred way of dealing with all manner of things.. Steve P. On 5 Jun 2012, at 16:13, Aaron Sherber aa...@sherber.com wrote: Hi all, I have a score with a cutaway staff.

I know that I can hide the key sig in the cutaway staff by putting an opaque expression over it, but is there a neater way that I'm missing?

Assuming your staff style is set to not display key sigs, apply it to the next measure to hide the cautionary key sig.

Re: [Finale] Fin2011: Hiding key sig change in cutaway staff
can't tell from the image, but if the next measure of the hidden thingy is also hidden, set that staff to allow Independent Elements: Key Signatures and extend the key sig to the next measure for ONLY that voice. NB this will affect any future changes of key sigs, if you only select one instrument and change key, all but this staff will change (you need to select the measure block) ___ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
Re: [Finale] Fin2011: Hiding key sig change in cutaway staff
I get you now.. when I saw who message was from I realised that I was telling you nothing new.. In this case an opaque box is probably the most elegant solution. In the notation app I used before Finale (and after very early Finale use..) you could right click on anything and hide it. For that matter you could click on anything and move it. Finale is like copying with boxing gloves on in comparison! Steve P.

The cautionary sig is at the end of a system, and this cutaway staff is completely hidden in the next system because it's empty. But if I unhide the staff and apply the staff style to the first measure, the cautionary sig does indeed disappear, and then I can rehide the (still) empty staff. Good trick, thanks.
