Finale- Layers
Hi,
Could someone please tell me how I can combine 2 layers into 1? Is it possible?
Thanks,
Michael

Oh, or making reductions - I think you can pick the two staves once
you've done what I said before and make like it's a piano reduction
and combine bothe parts to a single stave - but then I think you have
to do a lot of specifying about if you want layers or voices or not -
in the long run, my first post may be the easier way unless someon has
something else...

Oh, man, I've done it before.
Hmmm...
Copy everything to a second staff (or blank measure(s) after)
Use the Mass Edit tool and delete layer 2 from the original, and layer
1 from the copy.
Use the ME tool to switch layers in the 2nd staff (moving the notes to
layer 1).
Then, there's a way to copy and merge the data, rather than
overwriting it. It seems like this is in Mass Edit too, but there may
be a merge data command. I'm getting my programs confused.
There may be an even simpler way but in the old days, this is how I
seem to remember having to do it. Seems like everything's possible in
Finale, but somtimes you have to trick the program!
Sorry I couldn't be of more help - I'm sure someone will offer
suggestions!
Good Luck.

In Sibelius it's the Arrange command, which is a specialized form of paste...

This is very workaround-ish, but possible. Realize that this will only
work well if the two layers are homophonic (i.e. they have the same
rhythm). Here are the steps:
1. View > Show Active Layer Only
2. Choose the Staff Tool
3. Create a new staff below the staff you're altering (if the staff
you're altering is not the bottom staff, you can create two new staves,
copy the original music into the first new staff, perform the steps, and
then copy the result into the original staff)
4. Choose the Mass Edit tool (for version 2002 and earlier, this is the
Mass Mover tool)
5. Choose Layer 2
6. Select the section of layer 2 that you want melded into Layer 1
7. Copy into the new staff (or the second new staff if you created two
in step 3) by whatever method you choose
8. Clear the music selected in Step 6 (Clear on Mac, Backspace on Windows)
9. View > Show Active Layer Only (uncheck it)
10. Select the copied music on the new staff
11. Mass Edit > Move/Copy Layers...
12. Move Layer 2 into Layer 1 (You should now have the two original
layers on separate staves, both now in Layer 1)
13. Select the music on both staves that you want to combine
14. Mass Edit > Utilities > Implode Music, and choose Top Staff of Selection
15. Delete the staff you added
Viola! You now have one staff with both original layers in it, combined
into Layer 1.
