| Posted 10/23/2012 7:31 PM (GMT -6) |   | I am running Finale 2012 on OS 10.7.4 and am having trouble figuring out how to remove an unwanted mid-staff instrument change. I've tried utilities=>change instrument and no luck. The beginning measures are trumpet and then at measure 25 it changes. The piece started as an arrangement for a different instrument set, but all of the other staves and the beginning of this one have changed instruments correctly. Can anyone point me in the right direction to figure out what I might be doing incorrectly.......... I've attached a screen print of the settings shown in score manager.
Thanks so much!

The only 'X' I see is the last column (after the column with the heading Ch with a value of '6' ) and when i click on that X, the whole staff disappears..... | | Back to Top | |

| Posted 10/23/2012 8:22 PM (GMT -6) | | Since the screen shot doesn't show a mid staff change, maybe there isn't one. Can we see the actual Finale file?

| Posted 10/23/2012 8:43 PM (GMT -6) | | Is this a file you created yourself, or a MIDI file brought into Finale? You have a MIDI instrument change in bar 3. I deleted that and all is well.

| Posted 10/23/2012 9:21 PM (GMT -6) | | There are different ways. It depends on whether any of the MIDI data is needed in the file. Did you put that data there? Is this an imported MIDI file? This is part of the info needed. Are you new to Finale?

| Posted 10/23/2012 9:23 PM (GMT -6) | | | Oh Zuill, I'm so sorry. Yes, I am new to Finale. The Midi data isn't needed and yes, it is imported. I'm reading the manuals as quickly as I can, but not fast enough. | | Back to Top | |

| Posted 10/23/2012 9:25 PM (GMT -6) | | For the attached file, I went to the MIDI tool, selected Continuous Data and chose Patch Change. I then highlighted the staff and chose the Clear item in the MIDI menu.
