Can Finale do this? I set a system with two staves: staff one contains a melody while staff two shows the same melody but shifted by one measure to the right, thus creating a canon. Measure one on staff two will be hidden as it represents a number zero measure; in the same way the last measure

To make a repeat show on only one of the staves, create a normal repeat, then use a staff style to hide the repeat in the staff where it shouldn’t show. On 24 Feb 2014, at 10:01, Giovanni Andreani i...@giovanniandreani.eu wrote: Can Finale do this? I set a system with two staves: staff one

[Finale] Score manager display issue solved

2014-02-24 Thread Dennis Bathory-Kitsz
Not really solved, no. It seems there's a Finale Windows 2014 bug that makes the Score Manager's instrument droplists unreadable unless default settings for windows and buttons are used. This bug did not affect the old instrument list in 2011 and earlier, which was unaffected by display settings.
