Re: [Finale] default layout
Thank you, David; When cleating parts, neither text blocks nor staff names appears. Since I have to check 'staff name in parts' box every time creating docments fromm the wizard, I would like to know the way to preset the box checked. But I found a thread about that in MM's forum and that there is some expalanation about that at page 37 of the 2007 manual. Thank you again. >masao iikura wrote: >> Thank you, Aaron and David; >> >> I did some experiment and found that settinf in >> Document | Page Format | Parts works well, and that >> I can't set items other than those in >> the menu - for example, Title/Copmpower/Staff Attributes - >> before I generate parts.

Re: [Finale] default layout
Hi, I just arranged a song of Johnny Cash, and after entering quarter notes for the bass, I thought it would be better to write eight notes and eight rests. I searched the menues for doing this (Finale 2007), but while I could change the duration to eights, I could not find a command that lets me change them to eight notes and eight rests. Thats change of duration for me. In the end I changed the notes to eights in the mass edit - change durations-menu and inserted the eight rests manually. But there must be an easier way to accomplish that? I mean, Im with Finale since version 2, and most of the recent updates were about playback?

But the parts generated without any setting action seems to has some default settings which deffers from Maestro Default Font file (Staff Attributes). Where do they come from? In the Manage Parts dialog are the old dialogs which we used to see in the Extract Parts dialog from earlier versions. Go to Document/Manage Parts and then click on the Part Creation Preferences button and you can set/change the settings for margins, page layout things, system spacing, etc. I think that's what you're looking for from your second paragraph. If I'm mistaken in what you're looking for, perhaps you could be more specific about which settings you want to change. -- David H.

Where are they from and how to change them? Can they be set as system preference or documen-by-document(Maestro Default Font or Jass Default Font)? Thanks. In the Manage Parts dialog, before you generate the parts, there is a button to define the page layout (page margins, system margins, etc) for the parts, so you can change it on a document-by-document basis. Things such as the Titles/Composer positions you would have to move around in each generated part. You can set these things in an empty file you have opened from a template and save that back under the same template name so that your preferences would show up for any future documents opened from that same default document, or you could save it as a different template and leave the default as it is now. To include the title and composer text blocks in new positions, you would have to set those for each part in the blank document before saving it as a new template, but once done they would remain the same for all future works you do with the same template since the parts would already be generated before you entered a single note (i.e. when you open the template to create a new document). Thank you very much, David, I will follow your suggestion in case of starting a project from a template. But how can I preset those items when starting from Mestro Default Font in the Setup Wizard? Use the Setup Wizard, which will result in your looking at the score as you told the Wizard to set it up, with empty measures (or with the default whole-rest for empty measures.) Immediately go to the Manage Parts dialog and generate the parts (I don't know if the Wizard does this automatically or not, but that's easy to check simply by clicking on the Edit Part > menu item -- if there's a list of parts, then they've already been generated). Then get the Title and Composer blocks where you want them. -- David H. Bailey [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale

Open your Maestro Font Default file, make the changes to Document | Page Format | Parts, and save the file again (as a template!).
