Staff size variations within systems in Finale
Posted: 07 Sep 2009 02:04
I've got an odd problem that has crept into a couple of recent scores I've done in Finale 2009. Does anyone have experience with this problem and/or advice?
Within one system or another, for example: in an SATB a cappella piece, the music looks normal for the first two systems, but in the third system the soprano and alto staffs and notes are larger than the tenor and bass. In the next system or sometimes two systems later, the staffs are back to normal and all the same size. I've checked system reduction and page reduction settings, removed them, removed staff attributes etc, but cannot seem to clear the problem. It is annoying and I cannot find a way to fix it. The staff/system settings are set to the normal values as far as I can tell, the settings are the same in the systems that look good and those that look bad. Any advice would be appreciated!
