Hi, what is the cause of this misbehavior? For some time now, blank pages are always appended when creating linked parts. My workaround is to save the page and reopen it.
However, this is a big effort if you have to edit a lot of single voices. Something in Finale must have changed, because earlier in FIN 26 and in the versions (FIN25, FIN 2014) everything runs without problems.
Thank you and regards

I've occasionally seen blank pages, but perhaps this is a new bug. There is a "Delete blank pages" choice on the Page Layout menu, if that helps.

Sometimes updating the layout (Utilities Menu) will get rid of blank pages. I'd suggest activating Auto Update Layout (Preferences>Edit Pane) if it's not already.

MM really should get rid of the ability to turn off "Automatic update layout." I don't believe there's any reason to use it, and people turn it off based on a misunderstanding (automatic music spacing being what's really bedeviling them).

Thanks for your help, but the suggestions have not brought any solution. Maybe it is a new bug after all. :(
My current finale version is: 26.3.1.520, german version. Perhaps there is a solution after all.
Eventually I will install the demo of FIN 27 and test if the problem occurs there.
