Group Attributes dialog box

How to get there

To create a new group, click the Staff Tool. Select the handles of staves to include in the group, then choose Add Group and Bracket from the Staff menu. Or, ctrl shift-click a handle of one of the selected staves. (Or, with no staves selected, choose Add Group and Bracket from the Staff menu to set up a group containing all staves in the score.)

To edit an existing group, click the Staff Tool. Click a group handle, then choose Edit Group Attributes from the Staff menu. Or, double-click a group handle or a bracket handle. (Or, with no handle selected, choose Edit Group Attributes from the Staff menu. Use the arrow controls to display the attributes of the groups in the document.)

What it does

In Finale, groups are created and edited in the Group Attributes dialog box. You can assign a staff to as many groups as you like, and customize how you want barlines and brackets to appear.

By default, Finale positions group names vertically between the first and last staves in the group. The default positioning is used unless you explicitly change the position of a group name. To set individual positioning, click Position. The Position Full Group Name or Position Abbreviated Group Name dialog box appears. For details, see Position dialog box.

When "Global" appears, changing a group’s attributes will alter its appearance in Scroll View. The changes will also appear in every staff system in Page View—unless you’re viewing a Special Part Extraction, or have already optimized staff systems. (If you later turn off Special Part Extraction or remove optimization, Finale will display the changes in Page View.)

"Special Part Extraction" appears when you display the group attributes for a selected staff in Page View, and Special Part Extraction is selected in the Edit menu. Changing a group’s attributes in Page View will affect its appearance in every staff system—except for optimized staff systems—but won’t change its appearance in Scroll View.

"Staff System" (plus the current staff system number) appears when you display the group attributes for a selected staff in Page View, and the selected staff system has been optimized using the Page Layout Tool. Any change to a group’s attributes in Page View will affect the current staff system only.

Tip: Use Show Default Group Names in the Staff menu to control whether default, non-printing group names appear in the score.

Note: You can override the barline selected for a group on a measure-by-measure basis by choosing Override Group Barlines in the Measure Attributes dialog box. When you choose this option, the barline set in the Measure Attributes dialog box will always appear, regardless of any alternate barline style selected in the Group Attributes dialog box. This might be used for the final bar in a piece.

Tip: Use Show Default Group Names in the Staff menu to control the appearance of default, non-printing group names in the score.

 

Note: You can override the barline selected for a group on a measure-by-measure basis such as for the final bar in a piece. To do so, select Override Group Barlines in the Measure Attributes dialog box.

 

Tip: To display more than one bracket on a staff or staves in a group, create additional groups for the staves, then choose a different bracket style for each group.
