Don't know if I'm clear with the title
I have composed a clarinet quartet, and at the end I have a Da Capo, but the key is not the same, so I want to make the beginning key at the end of the music, just before the Da Capo. What I've done : I have created one more measure, with the same key as the beginning, and I move that measure to a new page (end of the document). When I want to print, I only print the 8 pages, and not the ninth (with the blank measure).
The problem is, as I have 9 pages now, if I insert page numbers (style 1/8, 2/8, etc ...), I'm going to have 1/9, 2/9, ... I don't want the last page to count in the total of pages.
Is it possible ?
I work with Finale 2014 but my publisher uses Finale 2012.

Then you could include it on the last line of your quartet, you'll see a courtesy key/time signature ostensibly at the very end and you won't need an extra page. Vaughan

Posted By : Peter Thomsen - 9/10/2015 5:21 PM | Instead of putting the last measure on a new page, you could put the last measure on a new system, and position this system outside the right edge of the last page so that the new system does not print. To position a system “off-page” you must de-select “Avoid Margin Collisions” in the Page Layout menu. When the menu item “Avoid Margin Collisions” is de-selected, you can have negative values in the dialog box Edit System Margins.
