    The passage discusses how to extract parts from a score, export files from Finale to PDF and other formats, and design new articulations.

    To extract parts, you first save the full score, then choose File > Extract Parts. You can then select the staves and parts you want to extract. You specify a location to save the extracted parts files.

    To export a Finale file as a PDF, you open the file in Finale, choose File > Export > PDF, and name and save the PDF file.

    Lecture 12: To extract parts into individual documents

    1. Save the full score document.

    2. Choose File > Extract Parts. The Extract Parts dialog box appears.
    PrintMusic will prepare to extract parts from the active document.

    3. Specify the staves and groups you want to extract by highlighting the staff names
    and group names in the Staves and Groups boxes.

     [Parts/Score list] • Check All • Check None • Check Current. The score
    and all parts appear in this section. From this list, choose the parts (and/or
    score) you would like to extract. Click Check All to select all items in the list.
    Click Check None to uncheck every item in the list. Click Check Current to
    check an item if it is highlighted.

     Manage Parts. Choose this option to open the manage Parts dialog box
    where you can add, delete, and customize parts.

     Generate Parts. Click this button to generate a part for each instrument in the
    score. Finale recognizes instruments that contain more than one staff, such as
    Piano, and creates a single part accordingly. This is identical to the Generate
    Parts button in the Manage Parts dialog box.

     File Names: Generate Names From • Prompt for Each Name • Save In •
    Open Extracted Part. Finale needs to know what to call each document it
    creates for an extracted part. If you want Finale to automatically extract parts
    and create a file name for each document without intervention on your part,
    select Generate Names From and enter the folder in the text box, followed by
    any variables you would like to use in naming your parts. The variables are
    detailed in the table below.

     OK • Cancel. Click OK (or press RETURN) to confirm your parts extraction


    settings, or click Cancel to dismiss the dialog box without changing any
    settings.

    4. Choose a location to save your documents. For example, you might create a
    folder called "Parts" and have the individual files extracted to that folder.

    5. Click OK (or press RETURN). PrintMusic will generate an individual


    PrintMusic document for each part, according to your specifications. Allow
    plenty of time for PrintMusic to complete the task, especially with large files,
    and make sure there’s room on the hard disk to hold these files.
    To create a PDF document from a Finale file

    1. Open the file in Finale.

    2. Choose File > Export > PDF. If you would like to add PDF properties to the file
    (Subject, Title, Author, etc.), click Additional Properties, add the required info, then
    click OK.

    3. Name the file, chose a destination, and click Save. Finale creates a PDF of the
    currently visible document. For example, if a part is being viewed, Finale creates a
    PDF of the part.
    To export Finale file as a graphic (JPEG)

    1. Choose Window > Advanced Tools. Click the Graphics Tool . The Graphics menu
    appears.

    2. Choose Graphics > Export Selection. The Export Selection dialog box appears.

    3. Choose a graphics format from the Type drop-down list to tell Finale whether to
    create a PDF, EPS, JPEG, PICT, PNG, TIFF, or SVG file.

    4. Click OK (or press ENTER). Finale saves the graphic.


    To design an articulation

    1. Click the Articulation Tool , and click a note in the score. It makes no difference
    what note you click; the symbol you’re about to design won’t appear in the score until
    you want it to. The Articulation Selection dialog box appears.

    2. Click Create. The Articulation Designer dialog box appears.

    3. Next to the Main Symbol display, click Main. The Symbol Selection dialog box
    appears. Use the scroll bars to view all the musical symbols available in the font.

    4. Double-click the marking you want. You return to the Articulation Designer dialog
    box.

    5. Click OK. Once you’ve placed an articulation on a note, of course, you’re still free to
    drag it to a new position.
