If the last staff in a multi-instrument staff is deleted, the instrument is also removed. The original instrument and any other staves in that instrument remain. When the delete button for a multi-staff instrument’s staff is clicked, the staff is removed from the Score Manager and the score. Deleting staves from multi-staff instrumentsįinale offers a delete button not only for instruments, but for staves within multi-staff instruments as well. This allows such staves to be reordered within the multi-staff instrument (e.g. The individual staves of a multi-staff instrument include the Drag icon. Click the expand triangle next to the instrument name provides access to each staff. You can edit the staff-specific settings for each of those staves individually. A piano, for example, usually includes two staves, a treble clef staff for the right hand and a bass clef staff for the left hand. Initially, the Score Manager presents each instrument as a single row, no matter how many staves that instrument contains. See Adding or inserting a new instrument and Reordering instrument staves. Noteman says: To assign sounds to instruments for playback, see Configuring Instrument Playback.įurthermore, the Score Manager allows you to add, remove, reorder, or change instruments instantly. Using the Score Manager, you can view and edit the document’s instrument order, playback settings and other staff-specific settings. All instruments in a document, including mid-score instrument changes, are presented to you in the Score Manager. Instruments also facilitates mid-score instrument changes if your score requires a flute player, for example, to switch to an oboe at some point during the piece. Instruments are also integral to ensuring Finale designates the appropriate playback sound (based, for example, on your Sound Map preferences). Finale includes an internal library of just about any instrument you can imagine, each configured to represent the standard transposition, clef, staff lines, range, and so forth. Of course, an "instrument" might also refer to a trumpet or flute, or, for sheet music, an individual staff or part.įinale has its own definition of an instrument–a collection of all aspects pertaining to the visual display of the staff/staves as they appear on the printed page (staff name, transposition, clef, etc). For example, manufacturers of Audio Units sound sample libraries, like Garritan, refer to their sound samples as "instruments." The manufacturer of MIDI devices and sound modules refer to their various General MIDI (and non-General MIDI) sounds as "instruments." (The term MIDI itself means ("Musical Instrument Digital Interface"). The term "instrument" with regards to Finale can mean several different things. Noteman says: To ensure your music is written entirely within the range of the instrument(s) you are writing for, use Finale's automatic range-checking feature.
