View/Staff Sets submenu

You can greatly speed your work on orchestral scores by hiding the staves you’re not currently editing, so that there’s less music for Finale to draw. You can create up to eight staff templates—different arrangements of the staves in your music. This method only changes the display in Scroll View.

• All Staves. Choose this command to display all the staves in your score in Scroll View. This Staff Set cannot be reassigned.
• Select Staff Set 1 • … • 8. Choose from these commands to display the staff template you assigned to the corresponding staff set.

  To create a staff template, click the Staff tool; select only the staves you want to appear when you choose this command. Next, while pressing OPTION, choose a Staff Set from the View > Staff Sets submenu to define it.
