In Finale 12, is there a way to display witch is the currently applied Staff Style on a bar (or a section) ?
Sometimes I need various Staff Styles for different instruments and in score / parts and I tend to get lost...

Not as far as I know.

You might want to submit it as a feature request.

In the Staff tool, menu -> select "Show Staff Styles Names". Would that help ?

Hello Michelp,
this is exactly what I was looking for.
It's not the first time that I'm blinded by stuff lying just in front of my eyes.
And I did'nt realise before that you could apply multiple Staff Styles, hence my confusion.
Great!

I didn't know that either! My thanks, as well.

By The Way:

The Staff menu has two different menu items for this issue:

Staff menu > Show Staff Styles
Staff menu > Show Staff Style Names

I use them both all the time.
