Hi, I've written a standard strings movement with Violin I, Violin II, Viola and Cello. In the middle section there is a violin solo and then a cello solo. These solos happen while the rest of the ensemble is still playing, so I can't simply write "solo" over the group part, I need a separate system of music for each. How do I set up the template for this mix of instruments without Finale calling it "Violin I, Violin II and Violin III" and "Cello I and Cello II"-- How do I get a solo violin, and a solo cello to show?

Thanks!

We need more info.

1) What version of Finale? - Does it have ScoreManager?

2) How are you creating new documents? - What are your steps?
