there is a problem with some staves of my score
some staves keep their name throughout the whole score (beside the beginning of the staff on the right)
but some displays the name at the first page ; and then ; nothing
i set everything than the one that show their name and nothing happens
sooo frustating
i searched on the net ; couldn"t find any solution
any help? |

you are good both of you
i don't know why finale forces us to open the score manager to do that
they could have been more simple and allowed us to do it in the drop down menu when clicking on the box near the name (edit staff attributes , edit full staff name etc..)
anyway thank you guy ; finale forum the best forum ever |

| Posted By : Ron. - 11/1/2016 8:09 AM | You can do it your way as well. See attachment. But why is opening the Score Manager such a problem? It's where all the instrument-related items are.
PS. What is it about this thread? While I am uploading pictures someone else posts the same answer.

the position of the abbreviated staff name but not the name itself , or i miss something...
edit ; i missed something , as a matter of fact when you are in the second page you can do it but not in the first page ; weird though.. |
| Posted By : Ron. - 11/1/2016 9:34 AM | That's because the full staff name appears on the first page and the abbreviated one on subsequent pages. Or, you can do everything in the score manager.
