Editing part numbers after the fact

Hello Finale,

In a feeble attempt to standardize part numbers for MY Effects, I realized that after I scripted the show, I could not sort my labels by manufacturer. The part numbers I devised do not have a manufacturer identifier.  I tried to edit the PN by clicking the PN box, but 1) that appears to take the effect out of My Effects, and 2) it does not change the PN in the script.

Is there a way to update my PN’s with a manufacturer identifier in My Effects or Per Show Effects that will update the Script PN so they can be sorted that way?

 

Thanks

Bryan

Hi Bryan,

 

You can sort your labels any way you like because you have Finale 3D Pro!

 

Here are some resources for you:

Updating part numbers in My Effects won’t cause any change to the script. To update the script, you’ll need to replace items that have obsolete part numbers with the updated items. Here’s a tutorial video that demonstrates how to replace effects: https://finale3d.com/video/inserting-and-replacing-effects-with-keyboard-shortcuts/

 

Script events are linked to the effect definitions in the ‘Per-show effects’ collection. If you update part numbers directly in ‘Per-show effects’, you will break the links to the script events, which is not good. If you update part numbers in Per-show effects, it’s critical that you replace items that have obsolete part numbers with the updated items.
