I have been trying valiantly to make this happen, using Jari's plugins, but the results have been less than brilliant

Basically I have 4 woodwind staffs 2 Flts/" 2 Obs/2 Clars/2 Bsns

I want to copy these out to 1 staff per instrument...

I've tried to automate the process by

Calling JW Staff Polyphony and splitting the two notes into two layers [works fine]
"Manage Parts" dialog to insert a part for Flt Layer 2/Ob Layer 2 etc.

I then try to copy all non-note data from the Flute 1 staff to Flute 2 etc etc..

No matter how I approach this, Finalescript eventually messes up.

For instance, in a dropdown menu, is there a gauranteed way to get finalescript to return to the first item [ I would then navigate from there]

I've tried "home", various tabbing options, Dropdown "Item 1" [where item 1 is the first name in the dropdown list]
None of these gaurantees a constant correct result

I have 18 scores to process - each with double woods, Tpts 2&3, and Tbn 1&2 which I need to expand to individual staves

Can do it manually, but hopefully someone here has a solution....

Thank you all in advance...

My project involved copying to a new file with individual part staves.

So with careful planning I set my template as my default file. You can use Finalescript to create a default file with the 'new' command.

I then figured out the source and destination paths between the composite staves (source) and where they needed to be copied. You can flip back and forth between different documents using switch to next document.

Finally ran the Process Extracted Parts plug in (which works fine on non-extracted parts) on each line making sure to toggle 'from top' or 'from bottom' counting.

This was a particular task that still ended up with a bunch of clean up work, but in the end worked well. I think I did the project before Jari's plug in existed.

The fun part was writing out the script. I recall it was really long. I am pretty sure I no long have it.

In your example for WW make a template file laid out like this:
Flute (Staff 1)
Flute (Staff 2)
Oboe (Staff 3)
Oboe (Staff 4)
Clarinet (Staff 5)
Clarinet (Staff 6)
Bassoon (Staff 7)
Bassoon (Staff 8)

The general idea of the script would be:

select staff 1
copy

new

select staff 1
paste

select staff 2
paste
switch to next document

select staff 2
copy

select staff 3
paste

select staff 4
paste
(etc...)

select staff 1
plugin "Process Extracted Parts"
uncheck "Counted from Bottom:"
press "Go"

select staff 2
plugin "Process Extracted Parts"
check "Counted from Bottom:"
press "Go"

(etc...)

This is a possible solution. Finale is wonderful in that there are always at least three ways of doing the same thing. You just need to choose the one that is best for you.
