Hi, All,
I am using Finale 2014.5 with Windows. I have 4 different horn parts, piano, guitar, and bass. The DS, coda, and repeat signs are not showing on all parts. I think it has something to do with grouping, but I can't figure out how to ungroup. Three of my horns are brass, and the above-mentioned signs only show up on the trumpet part, as it is first in the group. I did not knowingly group instruments together. I am tired of having to proofread so carefully to make sure all signs are present in all parts. What can I do to permanently avoid this problem? Thanks.
Making DS, coda, and repeat signs show in all parts

diannapianna88,
Your question is well known.
It comes from time to time.
1) The first thing to try:
Staff Tool.
Double-click the first staff.
You get to the dialog box Staff Attributes where you - via a pop up menu - can go through the Staff Attributes for each and every staff.
The pop up menu is at the top of the Staff Attributes.
For each staff, take a look in the pane Items to Display.
Is the option {Endings and Text Repeats} checked or un-checked?
2) To make a text repeat in the score show on certain staves only, use the dialog box Repeat Assignment (context-click the repeat’s handle; in the context menu choose Edit Repeat Assignment…).
At the bottom of the dialog box you can specify which staff (or staves) that should show the text repeat.
