Re: "Staff Attributes" dialogue missing staff name options

The problem is not fixed ("Staff Attributes" still doesn't display any part name options and the part names do not display in the score or parts, though I was able to name them using the Documents > "Manage parts" dialogue), but I discovered something else: I had had a "group" defined (accidentally,...

"Staff Attributes" dialogue missing staff name options

Screen Shot 2016-05-16 at 11.12.11 AM.jpg Hello. I'm trying to name the three staves of a 3-part piece prior to generating linked parts. According to the online user manual, the "Staff Attributes" dialogue is supposed to have a section (near the top of the dialogue window) that allows you to name t...

Re: font selection won't "take" in lyrics

Thanks! That worked, with this caveat: each time I clicked on the note to which I wanted to add figures _after_ I'd gone through the font selection process, the font would revert to TNR. In order to get Finale numerics to "stick," I needed to: 1) click on the note to which I wanted to add figures (w...

font selection won't "take" in lyrics

I'm trying to enter figures (figured bass) using these instructions: https://usermanuals.finalemusic.com/Finale2012Win/Content/Finale/Figured_bass.htm Except I can't seem to select the "Finale numerics" font. Or, rather, I can select it using the drop down "font" menu under TEXT or using the "font s...

Re: Finale 2012 key signature before clef = bad

Thanks for the reply. The file is attached. Also, here is a screenshot. Measure 2 displays the "problem" I'm trying to fix--the key signature preceding the clef (measures 1 and 19 are okay because--coincidentally--they happen to be the first measure of the line). I cannot reformat this so that measu...

Finale 2012 key signature before clef = bad

Hi. A key signature is displaying _before_ a clef in one of my measures. Bad. I need the key signature to _follow_ the clef per normal conventions. I've been working on a score that entails lists of clefs only (with no notes) to illustrate an article on a 16th century collection of songs for three v...
