Choose New Staves when no staves are selected to add new blank staves below the existing staves. To insert blank staves above a particular staff, select a staff or staves, then choose New Staves. The New Staves dialog box appears, in which you enter the number of staves to be added or inserted, and how far apart Finale should space them. New Staves (with Setup Wizard) allows you to add new staves using the wizard which will name the staves and set up the instrument patch and transposition as well.
Staves can only be added or deleted while viewing the score. Add or delete staves from parts in the Manage Parts dialog box.
Tip: The distance between staves is subject to any resizing you do with the Resize Tool.
Note: Although you can choose from the Garritan Personal Orchestra instruments using the New Staves (with Setup Wizard) option, Finale will not load the new instrument sounds automatically when you return to the document. You will need to load them manually in the Aria Player. See Aria Player for Finale.
Tip: If no staff is selected, the new staves will be created at the bottom of the score, however, if a staff is selected, the new staves will be inserted above the selected staff.
