finale 2004 problem

hi

i have a little problem with finale 2004

i have a peace that is written for 5 instruments , BUT the first 40 measures i only use 2 instruments so for de rest i have all rests, now i want to print the peace but it's expensive paper. so my question is ...

is there a possible way to delete all those measures with the rest's so that you can see the first 40 measures 2 instruments and the last 100 measures all the 5 instruments

thanks a lot

Jean

Yes. You can do this by optimizing your score like I'm about to describe from the manual:

1. Click the Page Layout Tool.

2. From the Page Layout Menu, choose Optimize Staff Systems. A dialog box appears, letting

you specify the range of systems to be optimized. If you only want to optimize some of

the systems, enter their numbers in the boxes. You could also drag-select the systems to optimize

before entering the Optimize Staff Systems dialog box, and Finale will display your

selected systems. To optimize the entire score, click on Whole Document.

3. Check Optimize Staff Systems and any additional features below. See STAFF SYSTEM

OPTIMIZATION DIALOG BOX for details.

4. Click OK (or press enter). When Finale

thanks a lot it works perfectly
