Yeah, it's a bug. They are SUPPOSED to display, and they claim to have fixed
it, but it isn't fixed. The workaround I suggested is just part of my routine
now.

For Staff Styles not showing, I have a quicker fix for that particular bug.
In the score, select the Staff Tool. Select All (command A on my my Mac). From
the Staff Menu, select "use selected Staff Styles for score and parts".
Done.
Do this at the end, just before you start working on parts,
If you're on a recent version of Finale, go to Edit Group in the Staff Tool.
Select Hide Staves Normally for the group (rather than Only Hide when All
Staves are empty.) Now the "Hide Empty Staves" command in the Staff Tool should
work as you expect.
If you are on an earlier version of Finale,
I know this one. Often when you enter Staff Styles into the score, they fail to
show up in the parts. It is particularly bad if you have ever copied a Staff
Style to another passage or to another staff. They claim to have fixed this,
but no, it's still broken. Here is the workaround:

The standard way is to use a major key signature for modes with a major third
in them, and minor key signatures for modes with a minor third. So A lydian
would use 3 sharps and have every D sharp manually altered with an accidental,
as you thought.
The only exceptions I've seen are things like

are associated with. This means that a MIDI note off message is sent at the end
of the first note, and if you have a part on that note, i
No, it hasn't been fixed. It has been there for quite a while, as I recall.
There is a work-around, which is to enter the hairpin in another staff that
doesn't have an independent time signature, and copy it. You'll need the 2012c
update, though, because in the b update measure-attached smart sh
Darcy, they claim that expressions in 2012c now chase correctly if you start

Yes, everything is fine. It's just that the new behaviour is not documented in
the help files, and I was doing it the old way and not understanding. The link
Eric (I think?) sent has it very clearly laid-out, and I think the new way is
superior, more powerful and can be automated. And of course,
I just type it. We are talking a recent version, right?
I choose a new tempo mark, I type "Allegro " with the space, then choose Insert
Quarter Note, then type " = ca. 120" and all is well.

Adding extra spaces doesn't work for click assignment, as Finale seems to
ignore them. It also treats carriage returns and multiple carriage returns as a
space, moving to the next note as if it were a space.

Just E13 should do it.
The only situation where that might be a problem is if you have some
chromaticism going on around the root/9th, so you want to obviously omit that
note. Then you might use E7(13) indicating that the 13th is an added tone only.

Hi Neal,
Unfortunately, this is a well-documented bug dating from the FIRST linked parts
version, and never corrected or even addressed. It occurs when you have linked,
voiced parts (not all linked parts, just those where you split into different
parts from the same staff) that use grace notes.
Well, around here there is a very popular fake book, written by a Montrealer,
that uses that convention and causes some discussion every time one of those
tunes is read, so I wouldn't want anyone to reference it when reading my
charts. The 70's were not THAT long ago!
Despite its length, I stil

I had described this in another reply on this topic. It is possible to

My method doesn't change. I assume the horn's key signature is C if it doesn't
have one, and if it's Horn in E, and the notes written are C D E, that's the
1st, 2nd and 3rd degrees of E major, or E F# G#. Never fails (though it gets a
little slow in 16th note passages...)

I must say, I transpose by solfège (scale degree.) If I see a horn part, say
for F horn with no key signature, I see a C then I know it's the first scale
degree of the key I'm in, or F. If I see a D#, then I know it's the raised 2nd
degree of the key I'm in, so G#. No transposition can throw me
What I would do here is to enter all the accents first using the usual A

which ones needed to be inside. I would assign the A metatool to the OTHER
