1) To program the Staff Sets:

a) Switch to Scroll View.

b) Switch to the Staff Tool.

c) Click to the left of the Violin I staff, to select it.

d) Hold down the Ctrl key, and go to
View menu > Staff Sets > Program Staff Set 1

Now you have programmed a Staff Set of only the Violin I staff.

e) In the same way, program a ‘Staff Set 2’ of only the Violin II staff.


2) To Copy and Paste measure 2 from Vl1 into Vl2:

a) Selection Tool.

b) View menu > Staff Sets > Select Staff Set 1
(Showing only Vl1)
Click measure 2 to select it.
Finale will highlight also outside the staff, to show that the selection is a Stack Selection.

c) Copy the selected.

d) Switch to Staff Set 2.
(Showing only Vl2)
Click measure 2 to select it.
Finale will highlight also outside the staff, to show that the selection is a Stack Selection.

e) Paste into the selected.

Thank you, Peter,

No problem from a) to d).

e) In the same way, program a ‘Staff Set 2’ of only the Violin II staff.

Where do I have to begin this point?
If I go to the Scroll View I can only see Vl1, but not Vl2.
How can I go to select Vl2 staff?

Go back to the full staff view, like when you started.

You can switch to any Staff Set via the View menu (but you must be in Scroll View):
View menu > Staff Sets > …

By The Way:
There are keyboard shortcuts to the Staff Sets.
The shortcuts are displayed in the sub-menu Staff Sets.

Thank you very much, Peter,
Although very slowly, at last I managed to do it
