Finale version 2014.5.6359

I completed and arrangement and went back to do a quick Sax transposition and changed the name of the part. The name I used (Tenor Sax) now appears on the score and all of the parts. I have regenerated the arrangement with no luck and have searched for a quick way to get "Score" to print on the score and the part names to print properly on the parts with no success. I'm sure there must be quick fix, but I cannot find it. Please let me know if there is a quick fix.

Create a text block, then in the Text menu -> Inserts -> Part/Score Name.
This insert will apply the score name in the score as entered in "File Info" and will change it to the part name in each part.

Additionally, the part names follow the format used on the score staves. If you want a different verbage for any part name, go to Document Menu > Manage Parts > Edit Part Definition. The list of part names appears on the left - click on the part and hit the Edit Part Name button.

Thank you so much! I knew there had to be an easy fix.
