Re: show staff name on selected systems only
Thank you Peter for your answer. I have been adding an Expression to the bars where the Staff Name was needed, but yes, I could achieve the same result using a Custom Staff Style. It's a pity that so many problems are solved by using Custom Expressions and Custom Staff Styles, my lists of Expression...

show staff name on selected systems only
Hello,
I have a part with mid-score instrument changes.
I would like to show the part staff name only on the first system and at the beginning of systems were an instrument change occurs.
How can I do this without displaying the staff name on each system?

Default page format
Is there a way to change the default page format?
I use A4: in Page Layout > Page Size > All parts, but every time a new page is created it comes with Letter format.
When using redefine Pages the same problem occurs, Letter instead of A4.
How can this be avoided?

Re: display witch is the currently applied Staff Style
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!

Hide selected not empty systems?
Is there a way to hide some not empty staves only on selected systems? For exemple when a figure is repeated during a large amount of bars, I would like to keep the notes for playback, but I don't want to print those system. I tried to use "Force Hide Staff" in the Staff attributes but it applies to...

Like peelbee I have been struggling to find the right settings for slurs on a piano part,

Some tools I dream of...
Here are some tools that I miss almost every day in Finale: - a cursor for the zoom (like in Office programs). The keyboard shortcuts help to change the zooming but it doesn't show the scale. - a "camera tool" that can take a snapshot of a portion of a page. - an enhancer tool (highlight or backgrou...

Re: Staff names in Finale 2012
Thanks a lot, Michelp!
The Measure Tool method is exactly what I was looking for.
It's flexible and works perfectly.

Re: Staff names in Finale 2012
I have a full orchestra score with 26 staves... So I was hoping there would be another way to do it.
I want to keep the possibility to be able to choose to display the full name on some systems and the abbr. one some others.

Re: items to copy: fonts
Yes, I corrected manually the wrong chord suffixes nd the wrong positioning. The chords displayed in concert key are a tradition among some jazz musicians here in Europe. We always write the chords in concert pitch, whatever the instrument is. In fact this is a function I would like to have in Final...

Re: items to copy: fonts
I followed Miker's idea of changing the fonts in the source document, and I almost achieved what I wanted in 2 moves, by: 1- using the finale script plug in "import house style" to change font for both music notation and chords. 2- changing chord suffix font There are still some strange chord suffix...

Re: items to copy: fonts
I attach the source document and the score in witch I want to paste it. In any word processing program (Office, OpenOffice...) there is an option that allows you to paste any text with or without pasting also the layout (font-family, font size, font style, alignment...). It's this I want to be able ...

I got a clarinet part from someone using Jazzfont for notes, chords and text. I want to integrate this part in a score where I use Maestro / Arial / Times NR. If I just copy and paste the music from the clarinet part in my score the fonts used there are also copied in my score. It's this I would lik...

items to copy: fonts
Hello,
I got a document made with Jazzfont for music and chords, and I want to use it in a score with Maestro/Arial.
In the filter for items to copyI don't find any option to un-select the font styles.
Is there an easy way to do this?
