At times, you may find your score easier
to edit if all cross-staff notes are displayed on their original or “source”
staves. With the following technique, you can tell Finale to restore them
in this way temporarily; when you’re ready to print the score, you can
tell Finale to display them once again on the “target” staves to which
you dragged them.
- Choose Document > Document Options > Notes and Rests. The Rest options appear.
- Select Display Cross-Staff Notes in Original
Staff (so that an X appears).
- Click OK (or press ENTER).
When you want the cross-staff notes to return to their target staves,
de-select Display Cross-staff Notes in Original Staff.
- Optional: uncheck Display Reverse Stemming
in the Stems portion of the Document Options to return note to
the “correct” side of their stems.
