Re: Section Text for Score & Parts

Are you saying tha...

Re: How can I have two scores open at the same time?
I suspect that the problem is a Windows problem. Anyway, you do not have to have two Finale documents open at the same time. You can open one document, select the relevant region, and copy to the (Finale) Clipboard. Then, close the document, open the other document, select, and paste. Also, you can ...

Welcome to the forum!
1) You have posted in the forum for hardware issues, but I suspect that this issue is data specific. Read on:
2) Your example could be a (missing) .FAN file issue.
Check the .FAN files for the music font(s} used in the project.

Re: how to prevent adding a measure at the end when editing last measure
You are using Finale v27 - right?
And you are entering music with the Simple Entry Tool - right?
Take a look in
Simple Entry Tool > Simple menu > Simple Entry Options…
Is the option
Create New Measures
selected or de-selected ?

Does it happen in all Finale documents - or only in some documents?
Could you attach here (for the gurus to examine) a Finale document with the problem?

I opened your attached Finale document in my v26 - and I did not experience your problem with disappearing A’s.

For me, no A’s disappeared.
I suggest that you attach a (small) Finale document, for the gurus to examine.
2) Here is a slightly different version of the layout:

Re: slashes used as repeat symbols
I suppose that you have both single slash and double slash in the same Finale document - right ?
I would use the Slash Notation staff style for the single slashes, and custom expressions for the double slashes.

Re: Plug in question
True, but “Center Over/Under Music” works on all measures - including measures that happen to be the first measure of a system.
Which means that you can freely push measures up/down between systems.

Re: Plug in question
For that very reason I do not use the plug-in.
Instead I edited the expressions created by the plug-in, and saved the edited expressions as a library.
When-ever I need to number repeated measures, I load my library, and use the expressions from the library.

Re: Make measures taller without formatting issues?
I suppose that all systems are locked - right? When you make the staves bigger, the notes, too, will get resized, and the music spacing will get tighter. To avoid a too tight spacing it may be necessary to decrease the number of measures in each system - so that you get more systems/pages. Something...
