What I meant - sorry if I wasn't clear - is that simply moving the numbers in the score without prior unlinking affects all the parts. OK, then. I still don't know if your answer ways that it is possible to set the measure number position in the score (which will set it in the parts), unlink it, and then change it so that it's different for the score only, and the parts retain the original setting (which was appropriate for parts). Still, it would be nice to position measure numbers in the dialog box separately for each part if needed. I agree, but if the above is possible, it doesn't sound like a terribly problematic situation. -- David W.

And you can only select the measure numbers for an entire page at a time, so you would have to do it in three operations for a three-page part. But at least you CAN do it. Congrats!

But what other handles do you have, besides the two or three attached to each measure, which aren't affected by nudging? Dennis When I select the measure tool and hit ctrl-a, all the handles, including the barlines, are selected. And while barlines aren't affected by up-down nudging, they are affected by left-right nudging, so if I chose to shift the numbers left-right, barlines (and thus some measure widths) will be affected. I was just wondering if there was a way to select ONLY the measure number handles. -- David H.

Re: [Finale] Measure numbers in linked parts
If you drag-select with the mouse, making sure that the first thing that is covered by the dragging rectangle is a measure number, only measure numbers should be selected.

There's still a way to select number handles only with the mouse if they are all vertically aligned. Yes, if the work has measure numbers only at the start of each system. But your method falls apart if they are also spaced out in different locations. Oh well, hopefully MM will take care of this issue in linked-score/parts v1.1. :-) -- David H.

That's good news but it only works for the measure numbers on a single page, then, so the effort would have to be made for each page. Hardly an effective method. Personally, for works which have only a single measure number region, my previously suggested method of creating two identical regions, where the one which should show in the score only has the numbers positioned in one location and the one which would show only in parts having its unique settings. Then the score-only region, when you want to print the score, is set to show starting with measure 1 (or 2), while the other region is set to show starting with measure [last-measure+1]. Simply reverse those starting with measure settings when one wants to print the linked parts. For multiple measure number regions, this would be as big a pain in the butt as all the other kludges suggested. However, Fin2007 has added an include in measure numbering checkbox which can be unchecked for any individual measures, so the days of requiring multiple measure number regions may be behind us, which will make my workaround not so difficult to live with. -- David H.

That would mean moving it only once. No, because what you do in the score applies to the score and all parts (which only makes sense, or else there would be no way to make a change that applies everywhere). There's no way to unlink positiong from the score? That doesn't make much sense to me. Or, you'd have to be able to change position on all parts at once. I hope those of you who have Finale 2007 are putting in feature requests on this. -- David W.
