Shrink One Staff?

Featured Replies

Does anybody know if you can set staff sizes and things like that? I'm trying to make a part for the accompanist so that the two piano staves are normal sized, but the violin part is smaller. I would like it shrunken so it's out of the way but so the accompanist can still follow along, etc. etc.

Does anybody know how to do this??

Which program are you using?

I don't have Finale, but this is how you do it for Sibelius (3):

Step One: Click Window - Properties or shortcut is Ctrl + Alt + P.

Step Two: Select all the bars you want smaller.

Step Three: Click the bar in the properties window that says "Staves"

Step Four: Click the checkbox "Small"

Now you have a smaller staff!

With Finale, click on the tool that looks like a %-sign. Then click on the staff you want to shrink, then when the dialogue box appears, change the percentage. I haven't had to resize a staff in a long time, but I think something like 87%-90% works well.

Oh, sorry, I'm using Finale 2006.

Okay, problem is solved now. :)
