Finale adds numbers to part names
Moderators: Peter Thomsen, miker
I have Finale 2014.5 using Windows. If I name a part "Clarinet 2&3, Finale adds a number "2" after my part name in the printouts. The same happens to any instrument if there are more than one. For instance, if I name a part "Snare Drum" and then another part "Bass Drum & Cymbals", Finale will add a "1" to the first and a "2" to the second. I don't want this and I can't get rid of it. Why is this and how can I avoid it?
