I had a method in 2008, but in 2009 I haven't worked it out yet because the expressions have changed and I don't understand them yet. Here it is. Enter the movement title as a Measure Attached expression. Assign it to the first measure, left barline, at the height you like (about an inch

Hi all, Repeat wing style is set in document options (none, curved, single, double). Is there any way to override this choice for one linked part? I've got a score with the 'none' style selected, but for the drum part, I want curved. I know I can just extract the drum part and change the

As I am on the digest, apologies if someone's already posted about this. There is apparently a letter being sent out to registered Finale and Notepad users outlining (basically) that Finale Notepad 2009 is going to cost $9.95, and there will be a free Finale Reader 2009 that will open, print

Yeah, I know. I've always counted on the Notepad to be able to send files to clients who don't have Finale, and to be able to have students get examples from me online. I guess the reader will be able to do what I need, but sometimes a note or two changed is all that's needed...

A while back, I remember someone suggesting a fairly detailed set of steps to follow in order to make sure that the extraction and printing of parts went as painlessly as possible - including when to optimize. If someone can point me in the direction of those instructions, or provide a newer
