I would like to create a script that would add the name of the part on the top left corner of the first page of each part, and the name of the score + the name of the part on the center of each page from the second page onwards of each part.. if that makes sense to you! Let me give an example:
I have a score titled "My Song" which has 4 instruments: piano, double bass, alto sax and trumpet.
What I want to do is: when I see the first page of the piano part, I want "piano" to be written on the top left of the page. From page 2 and onwards I want on the top center of the page (header) to write "My Song - piano".
The same applies to the rest of the parts.
Is this possible with a script? |

First you should check your file info dialogue box to be sure that Title information is filled in, etc ...
Use the text tool to create a text block in the upper left hand corner and use the text insert "score/part name" in the drop down menu.
Then create a text block with the inserts "title" and "score/part name". Right click on the text block handle to bring the frame attributes dialogue box. In that box set the page to page range 2 (leave second box blank). Also set the Horizontal setting to Center (defaults to Left).
If you need a good walk through on how to create text blocks I would peruse the help page: http://www.finalemusic.com/support/learning-center/
Let me know if that helps out.
