If the resultant part is a rehearsal piano part that you want to appear at a smaller size, see Reducing/Enlarging. Using Finale’s Imploding music feature, you can condense the musical material from several staves onto a single staffor, in the case of a piano reduction, onto two staves. To create a piano reduction over a region.

Don’t forget to change the clef of the bass staff (see Clefs). Select the staves to be included in the piano reduction and the split point. Repeat the procedure for the bass-clef staff of the piano reduction.Note that any existing articulations and expressions in the source staves will appear in the resultant staff. Noteman says: View the Slurs, hairpins, and other shapes QuickStart.

If you’ve selected a large amount of music to be imploded, this process may take time. A glissando, or gliss, is represented in the score by a diagonal straight or wavy line. The Implode Music dialog box appears, asking whether the resultant reduction should appear on a new staff (at the bottom of the score) or whether the music should be imploded onto the top existing staff (in which case the current contents of that staff will be replaced). You can select a region of on-screen measures by SHIFT-clicking or drag-enclosing, or entire staves by SHIFT-clicking to the left of each. Slurred and repeated pitches should sound like one longer note. Avoid trying to producing an audible contour, but rather make each note sound the same. Remember that we are now isolating the articulation from pitch. Choose the Selection tool and select the region to be imploded onto the treble-clef staff of the piano reduction. For me, Ravel Piano Concerto in G or Charlier Etude 1 are two good examples.Implode Music works best when the source staves have only one or two independent rhythmic patterns. If the source staves contain several independent rhythms, Finale does its best to sort them out, but you may still have to do some cleaning up afterward. Using Finale’s Imploding music feature, you can condense the musical material from several staves onto a single staff-or, in the case of a piano reduction, onto two staves. automatic visual balancing and collision removal of staves and systems in score and. automatic alignment of expressions, articulations, hairpins, lyrics and many smart shapes. To create a piano reduction over a region Perfect Layout includes more than 100 automated layout processes for Finale like: -collision removal of most music symbols.
