I don't think the situation is a hopeless as you think. You don't have to save the entire file directly from Finale as one PDF file. You can save it in sections, when you make your postscript listing. Then you can use one of several available (some are even freeware, I believe) PDF distiller progr

One thing you could do: Move the staves you want to extract next to eachother, sort the staves, make a group of the staves you want to extract (name the group for example "extract"), finally extract only that group. Be sure not to save your score! Crystal Premo schreef: > > I have been trying t
