I have created a warm-up page for my drumline. On this page I have three separate exercises. I would like have Finale display the complete staff instead of the abbreviated name at each new exercise. Someone on this forum suggested creating a staff style, but I am not quite sure how to implement this method. Can someone please help?

If there is not an easy work around, I suggest that Coda add this as one of the staff styles available, Show Full name/Abbreviated name.

Why not make the abbreviated staff names the same as the full names?

You can create a staff style yourself to do this quite easily. Select the Staff tool and go to Staff/Define Staff Styles. In the dialog box that pops up, hit New and type in a name for your style such as "Full Drum name." Check the box next to Abbr. Staff Name and type in the full name (not abbr.) you would like to have appear. Apply this style to the system you want the name to show on. You'll have to create a separate style for each instrument name however, for there's no "Show Full Name" style that I know of, although this would be a nice feature.

Thanks, I can't make the Abbreviated name the full name due to the fact the exercise before is two systems, and I prefer the abbreviated name continuing on through the same exercise.

If tech support reads this, please pass this suggestion along.
