"Linked parts", I imagine you know that it only means that the parts are contained in the same file as the score. "Voiced" means that 2 flutes can share the same score staff, yet each have their own separate linked part, using the "voicing rules" you set up in the part definition. Say, flute 1 u

Hi all Just to state the obvious, when moving measures that affect systems 10 and 11 and you do an update layout, you must do so at least from the page that contains system 10. Update layout doesn't work globally but only from the current location forward. Andrew Levin > Often, when I move s

Re: [Finale] Locked systems

2014-12-28 Thread Christopher Smith
Yes, I am sure you are right. But you also have to repeat the "break locks" FOR EVERY SEPARATE PART. So this little fix might end up taking a few minutes for a large orchestra score. And large orchestra scores with voiced linked parts are exactly the type of file that benefits from having a temp

Re: [Finale] Locked systems

2014-12-28 Thread Robert Patterson
What could be going on with the OP is that the default file used to start the project contained the locks already. A long-term issue with Finale is that if you create a piece with locked systems, especially if only a system is locked here and there, when you delete the measures the locks are retain

I, like you, wait until the end to enact staff system locks. But then I lock EVERYTHING! I've too often had Finale parse the spacing differently while printing and I end up with my 6-bar system as 5 bars plus one bar by itself on its own line, then the part runs to four pages instead of thr

I guess my work flow is different from many. I work about 95% in scroll mode until it is time to do final parts layouts. This seems so much faster, getting more of the most useful content on the screen, especially when using staff views aggressively. Even so, when I do switch over to page vie

There used to be a spacing option somewhere that forced X-number of measures on each system. For the life of me I can't find it now, but that might be the source of the problem if it still exists. On Sun, Dec 28, 2014 at 8:37 AM, Raymond Horton wrote: > I should try scroll view / page view prior
