Don, sorry for the long rant previously.
There is a "fill in rests" (or some such) feature that you can turn off,
but that doesn't account for the inadvertent whole rests. I may be
entering them without knowing, in some way. But so far, when I finish a
score and want to optimize, I select all, d
Hi, Don,
It's a mystery why sometimes "hide empty measures" leaves some empty stave
showing. It's always because there is *something* in those measures. I
assume it is a stray hard whole rest, but it could be something else. My
orchestra scores are pretty huge, and in the later finale versions,
Sorry Linda--I missed your explanation of where these whole rests are
coming from. The inadvertent entries I understand, but I haven't had any
trouble with Finale-generated whole rests. Is it a feature you can turn
off? Can you elaborate? - Don

Hi Linda,
In speedy or simple note entry one has to enter real whole rests on

Optimize is now "hide empty measures" and it's found in the menu bar under

It's called "hide empty staves" - not able to check exactly where it is at

Hello Listers,
I've found out how to hide a single empty staff, but not found an
equivalent of the 2000 "optimise" which would hide all the empty staves in
however many systems of a score I chose, with one command. Have I missed a
renamed equivalent in 2014? I tried the Index on "optimise" and
