Finale Forum

Trying to put orchestral score page numbers - baffled! Getting the same number ("1") on all pages, and can't get L and R positioning. Have read the instructions several times.

Thanks

In the Lyrics tool, pick Edit Word Extensions from the menu. A handle will appear at the end of the line. Click the handle to highlight it, and press Delete (Windows; looks like it's fn+Delete on the Mac).

Here I have some cue notes preceding a flute line. They are sung by baritone. After the word "home" there is a long line that extends for several measures. How would I remove that line? Thanks, see attached.

Thanks, I tried d/l from https://audacity.en.softonic.com/mac/download and found it so confusing. Several prompts - "relaunch", "download in progress," "download" appearing several times. Not sure about this. I'm sure the app would help me though. I would suggest, and I do it myself, you d/l Audacit...

OK, no problemo.

If you're sure you're looking at what you've uploaded, I can't explain it. No way to help you if I don't see it.

It's on my score on screen, however, it doesn't appear on hard copy. So perhaps
I shouldn't be overly concerned about it. Still I wonder why it's not showing up on screen
for you.

I'm not seeing "[staff 5]" anywhere.

Not when I open it. Check again.

I'm assuming that the only two adjustments are the blue-ish reverb level dial and the volume slider - yes?

Odd. It worked for me when I opened your file. Maybe someone else can help.

I tried that, to no effect. See my settings below:

In the Mixer turn up the reverb level.

and what would I do when I get there?

How do I add reverb to the attached? I don't see VST Banks on my MIDI/audio
or Garritan FX, but I did manage to get reverb recently - I don't remember how
though. See attached file.

How do I remove "[staff 5]" but keep "Violin 1" on the first staff? Thanks.

I am trying out some of the suggestions received regarding extracting
and linked parts. Why is it that, when trying to extract, I get two different
kinds of windows, as seen in the attachment. One shows the instruments/parts,
the other doesn't.

Right, but when I save the part, the resulting file is not the part, it is the entire score.

On your piece

Go > Document > Manage Parts > Generate Parts

Now if you do Document > Edit Parts you will see all the linked parts.

The parts may require some tinkering, but they are there.

I watched the vid (extract parts) and yes he does explain the difference between extract and linked parts. I see the difference. However he never shows exactly how to extract and save a part. I sent him my question and will see if he responds. Thanks. Watch this video: https://www.conqueringfinale.c...

OK

Thanks. Now I understand what Linked Parts means. I'll continue to try things out and will let you know if I'm stumped, which is likely. :-) Extract Parts is the old way to do it, which some people still use for various reasons. That creates individual files for each extracted part. The more modern ...

My original question was how to extract parts from score, or generate parts, in my understanding they are the same. I don't mean "linked" parts, except if that's the only way to extract parts. OK - can you explain how to do it? The extracted parts are created from the linked parts. Which means that ...

I have followed this suggestion. All good until the last step. The #10 instruction says "Choose Document > Edit Part > Clarinet in Bb." I get the clar. part and save it as "clar." Good. Then, when I open the saved part, I get the score, not the part. From the Manual: View the Create parts QuickStart...

OK - can you explain how to do it?

The extracted parts are created from the linked parts.

Which means that you can not avoid generating linked parts:
Document menu > Manage Parts…

Today the “standard procedure” is to use linked parts - and very seldom extracted parts.

After making several attempts, I am at a complete loss on how to extract parts on the attached file. I have followed this: "Choose File > Extract Parts. The Extract Parts dialog box appears. Specify the instruments you want to extract by checking the desired parts (and/or the score)." I cannot under...

Bingo - that answered my question perfectly and simply. Many Thanks! My instrument list on the attached shows that it includes three string parts (2 vns, vla) … I can see four string parts (2 vns, vl, cello). I can also see them in Scroll View. … Using the Staff tool, how do I reveal them on the sco...

Very good points - I appreciate that. Just thought I'd mention that hiding staves should be done only after fully completing a score and the layout is somewhat set. And then there is the question, is hiding staves really necessary? Don't hide staves simply because they're empty. A score should have ...

My instrument list on the attached shows that it includes three string parts (2 vns, vla). They are most probably
empty. Using the Staff tool, how do I reveal them on the score?

And then?
