Hey, I'm a nube here, but have been using Finale for almost 10 years. had an older version (early 2000's) and now have been using 2010. I wrote some charts for two drummers (with older version) with Multiple (2) staffs and now need to convert the staffs to (1) staff per line. how do i go backwards?? or how do i go from a multi staff template to a single staff (adding measures with only one standard staff line) so i can copy and paste, with out re-writing everything??
Thanks, drumdawg

Hard to say if this is going to work for percussion staves, but take a look at the (free) plug-in JW Staff Polyphony -> Staves -> Merge.
