hi
everything is in the title
in fact i want to add 2 staves of 3 measures for the cello and the bass , but for 3 measures.
when i do add staves , then finale will add the staves for all the score , that's not what i want
so i can't do anything
please help
regards

Frequent question.
You indeed have to add all the staves you will need right from the start.
Then, in the staff menu, when staves are empty (really empty !), select these systems and apply "Hide Empty staves".

yeah , i thought about that , but the staves are still here , even empty , well i guess that's the only way to do it
thanks though.

are you looking at your score in page view? or scroll view?
if the former, then empty staves will not appear where you have defined them as hidden.
if the latter then all staves will appear regardless of their hidden/shown status.

also, it would be helpful to know which version of Finale you are using.

after all you're right i'll do it your way
