Mysterious vertical group name in score

I've copied some music off the prepackaged Canon in D into a full orchestra score and there is now a weird vertical group name - "Violins" which appears (in a maroon font) in the score close to the 1st and 2nd violins, but in the parts it appears (also in that maroon font and vertically) in the viol...

Re: Clef won't change

Where is the dialog box where you can change the "Transposition" and "set" the clef?

Clef won't change

I made a little treble clef example page for some of my young students from an old single line violin part that I had lying around (could be a Finale Allegro 1998 file!). When I tried to change the treble clef to the bass clef to make a comparable bass clef example page, Finale refused to change the...

Re: Tempo Issues - Finale will not keep Expression Tempo

Yes. I'm sorry I didn't mention that. This violin part is an extracted part from the full score of the Mozart symphony. I wanted to edit it differently than the violin 2 part in the full score, so I extracted just the violin 2 part and worked on it outside of the original full score. Thank you about...

Re: Tempo Issues - Finale will not keep Expression Tempo

Yes, that keeps things going at the right tempo. But when it gets to m. 110, the tempo stays at Q = 102. It doesn't change to 8th = 84. Ugh!

Re: Tempo Issues - Finale will not keep Expression Tempo

What items are selected in the dialog box Score Lists?

If I'm getting this right, score and part of "Top Staff" are checked.

Tempo Issues - Finale will not keep Expression Tempo

I've searched through various thread regarding tempo change issues, but have yet to find anything that works for the problem I'm having. I've come across these tried and true solutions, but they haven't helped: >>Three things control tempo in a Finale document. >>They work in a hierarchical fashion:...

Title, part name & page number on all part pages

I know how to place instrument names on linked parts, and even how to have instrument names repeated on each page in parts with multiple pages. BUT . . . here's a situation I can't figure out. I recently upgraded to Finale 26, and created a score (Handel's Overture to Samson) with linked part. When ...

music being copied automatically in score

I've just begun using Finale 26 and am working on a project using the chamber orchestra template provided by Finale. As I've gone back through my work to do some editing I've found that some parts have been filled in automatically using music from other voices in the score (i.e. the Oboe 2 part has ...

Re: Trouble changing staff names in score

It looks like the staff styles issue was the problem. I have no experience with staff styles, and I have to admit, I have no idea what is happening when I "clear" the staff styles. I was attempting to read a bit in the user manual about staff styles, but I'll have to do more thinking on all this. Is...

Re: Trouble changing staff names in score

I've gone up and down the list. Auto-number style is unchecked for all instruments. When I check the auto-number box, the Names list in Score manager changes from some numbers and some names to ALL names. But nothing changes when I go back to the score.

Trouble changing staff names in score

I've been trying to change staff names in a score built on a Finale 'chamber orchestra" template. It has instruments in groups, then listed at the beginning of the score as "1" and "2". I've used Score Manager to try to change the Full Names from numbers to instrument names, deleted instrument group...
