If you're not sure which staff systems will be affected by dragging the handles, select a handle, then select Staff Usage from the Staff menu to display the Staff Usage List dialog box. If you selected the top handle, Finale displays “Global” or “Special Part” at the top of the Staff Usage List dialog box. Any changes you make when “Global” appears will affect all the staff systems in Page View, and the placement of the staves in Scroll View as well. If “Special Part” appears, the changes will affect each staff system in Page View, but will not change the placement of the staves in Scroll View. A second handle appears below the main handle if a staff system has been optimized. Select the bottom handle, then select Staff Usage from the Staff menu to display the Staff Usage List dialog box. “Staff System (and the current system number)” appears at the top of the dialog box. Any changes you make will affect this staff system only.
