Re: Inserting both Title and Part Name on parts
Perhaps the easiest way to do this is to start creating a text object with a text tool. 1. Create a text object 2. Text > Inserts to get your inserts. Here is where you'd also type the dash in between the two 3. Right click on the text object > Edit Frame Attributes 4. Page Range: 2 through 0 5. Pos...

Re: Notating Harp Glissandos
If you are only using 7-tuplets, you might want to consider using a JW Lua script. This will do all the correct notation automatically.
Jari created a tutorial on how to do this:

Re: Document Styles in Finale 26.01
Thanks Peter. That fixed it. I'm curious then how come looking in the Hard Drive path used to work.
Whatever the case, saving in the User path works.

Document Styles in Finale 26.01
Hi there, I just updated to the Finale 26 update and I am no longer able to update document styles. I'm on a Mac. I used to have no problem with it. Now, any new document I create will have the version I saved a week ago. It's not the default. And I've double checked and the document style file is s...

Re: Plugin makers: How did you learn?
Agreed. Go with JW Lua. I've used it quite a bit myself. You won't need to learn a whole new language if you can already code. You will need to learn the basics of lua, though if you already know another language, that should take 10-15 minutes. By far the hardest part is learning the available clas...

Re: How to add automatically octaves to a passage?
What do you mean by 4 transposition metatools? Are those the numbers 6, 7, 8, 9 that you can use to transpose by step or octave? If not, what are you thinking of?

Re: Import Libraries
Libraries are a way from keeping Finale documents from getting bloated. Basically, the expressions, dynamics, articulations, etc. are document specific and are not applied to all Finale documents. If each of these documents had all these, the size of even an empty document would get unwieldy. It wou...

Re: OT question, regarding dedications
Similar things aren't unheard of. Each movement of Elgar's enigma variations is dedicated to a different person.
I've believe I've also played a Tichelli piece where the middle slow movement was dedicated to a particular person while the entire piece was dedicated to the performer.

Re: Smart shapes and breaking MM rests
Could there be hidden whole rests?
Also, if that doesn't work, you can manually make and break the multimeasure rests. Edit > Multimeasure Rests

Re: Smart shapes and breaking MM rests
The easy way to add real whole rests is to use the Plug-in.
Highlight the measures
Plug-ins > Note, Beam, and Rest Editing > Change to Real Whole Rests

Score List 2, 3, 4…
Does anyone have experience using Score Lists beyond Score List 1?
I've tried using it just now and every time I select another score list, the expressions category resets to Score List 1. It would be nice to have multiple score lists.

Re: Best way to resize busy gliss. notes
If you use JW Lua, I'd recommend Jari's harp gliss script for this:

You just have to insert a 7-tuplet and then run the script. Everything is formatted correctly.

Re: Batch musx to pdf
You're on a Mac, so figuring something out using Keyboard Maestro or Automator shouldn't take too long to do. Automator is even built in to a Mac.
Both of these are designed to automate repetitive tasks like batch creation of PDF files.

Re: Staff spacing in orchestral scores
Hi Jan,
I've been watching this plug-in for years now. When are you finally going to release it? Even if it's buggy, it literally solves almost every pain point with Finale.
