Instead of using an iPad or even an Android tablet you might want to consider a Dell Venue 8 Pro...it is a full blown 8 Windows tablet...not Windows RT. As such you can run Finale directly on it...I have a demo of 2014 installed on mine as a test and you can get an active stylus from Dell

Christopher, I must be doing it wrong. No matter what I do the score still changes. I go to the Part A - Trumpet in Eb, unlink the part, and then make the change in key. The score still changes keys on part A. It may be because I had the parts set up prior...I'll try it again on a clean

Brian, Your method will certainly work and I have used that in the past. But the drawback to this method, that I can see, is when I make a change in one of the original parts or staves the resulting copies do not change as well. I would like to only have to make a single change in, say the

Fellow listers, I have been racking my brain and scouring the documentation but I can't get the answer to my dilemma that I swear exists. I want to write some charts/arrangements where I have four, five or six parts, i.e. parts A, B, C, etc. I want to create multiple parts from each part:

Thanks for all the help guys. The narration will stay above the choir. The text blocks are working out well with the narration...but I think I'll have to mess with it when it comes part extraction time. The choir will be between the strings and the winds with the piano below it. (and it

Well...it appears the consensus is text blocks. I'll give that a try and see what happens. Using lyrics wouldn't really work since the narration is over the choir which is silent during this section. Maybe I'm putting the narration somewhere I shouldn't. I'm planning on putting it over the
