Finale 25.5 - Mac
Hello,
I am inputting choral music for one of my professors (he handwrites his music), and the piece is for TTBB choir and SATB choir w/ piano accompaniment. I originally had 8 staves for the choral parts. My Prof. requested, to reduce page numbers, that I use only four staves and switch between the two choirs. This switch happens early on with the beginning of the piece as TTBB, and then switching about 30 measures later to SATB for the rest of the piece.
I was able to do this successfully, but I want to have the "abbreviated staff names" to change from SATB in the beginning to TTBB while keeping the abbreviated SATB in place after the switch.
The first picture is the beginning of the piece with TTBB. The second picture is only a page later switching to SATB. I want to keep the SATB abbreviations from this point to the end. I need to somehow change the beginning of the piece to TTBB without changing the abbreviated names later in the piece.
I'm sorry if this is a confusing question. Am I making this too complicated or has someone done this before and has any advice?
Thank you in advanced!
