Finale: Creating linked part staves from a single staff
Posted: 23 Jun 2021, 14:53
Suppose I have a full score with paired flutes on one staff. In the parts, I'd like to have a "Flutes" book, with the two flutes on separate linked staves. (This is a common arrangement in orchestra pits.)
Is there an easy way to do this in Finale? So far, I am not seeing it. Hypothetically, you'd add the full score Flutes staff to the same part twice, with different voicing for the upper and lower. But Finale allows you to add a given staff to a given part only once.
Another option is to create separate part staves that are not visible in the full score. But those part staves are forever separate — a correction on the main staff has to be made redundantly in the part staves.
Is there any other way to do this?
