Finale Forum

Hi!
I have a question how to make Coda repetition in Finale in score and parts, like this, how it is in photo.

Welcome to the forum!

Plug-ins menu > Measures > Create Coda System…

The plug-in works in the score.
Unfortunately the plug-in does not work in the linked parts.

But you can create the Coda System “manually”, by doing what the plug-in does.

The secret is in the Page Layout Tool:
Page Layout menu > Avoid Margin Collisions (de-select his option)

When {Avoid Margin Collisions} is de-selected, Finale allows for negative values in the System Margins.
In that way you can position two systems next to each other, by giving the lower system a negative value for {Distance Between Systems}.

One way to “figure it out”:

1) Extract the part.
Finale creates the extracted part as a separate Finale document (= not linked to the score).

2) In this separate Finale document the part is a “score” - which means that you can use the Create Coda System plug-in.

3) By examining the system margins in the extracted part’s Coda you can see what the plug-in has done.
And you can reproduce these system margins in the linked part - to create a Coda System in the linked part.

Thanks! It's working! =)
