Title: Alternating staffs
Post by: universe-X on April 21, 2012, 03:08:42 PM
This question was posted earlier in this section but I can't find it now o.o

I'm making a piece with notes that alternate 16ths between clefs (the same way the ending of Hungarian Rhapsody N. 2 is arranged), but I'm not sure how to do this :/ Help?

EDIT: Or better yet, how do I leave the piano to stay in just one staff?

Tips for both would be well appreciated :)

use the note mover tool

The tool on the left


Select the measure, then the notes you want to move, then drag them to the desired staff.

I have no idea what you mean by this.

I'm working with 2010 here :x

and how would I be able to change the piano to where I can have only a treble clef staff instead of treble and bass?

Do you mean eliminate the bass? Or change the bass to treble?

According to the manual (http://www.finalemusic.com/UserManuals/Finale2010Win/Content/Finale/ID_MAINTOOL_NOTEMOVER.htm), you should be able to use the Note Mover Tool...

Do you mean having one staff that has a treble clef or two staves with one treble clef each?

if you mean

then you can use the clef tool (http://www.finalemusic.com/UserManuals/Finale2010Win/Content/Finale/ID_MAINTOOL_CLEF.htm)

"Double-click a measure to display the Change Clef dialog box, where you can specify a clef that you want to insert in the measure you clicked."

I agree, we should take turns being moderators/updaters. I'll go ahead and set up a rotation.

Alternating Staff might just be the best idea I've ever heard of.
