LABELS Not sure if I am just missing this in the numerous options, but is there a way to print two of every label in order? I know I can print two of all the labels, but having them right together would be extremely helpful. Basically, as you go down the label page L1 L1 L2 L2 L3 L3 etc…

 

Hey aVTwolf, welcome to the Finale 3D forum!

 

There’s not currently a one-click option to print in-line duplicate labels, but here’s a way you can make it happen:

 

1) Open your show, then go to File > Save as and save a copy of your show under a new name
2) Go to File > User settings and enable this setting: Pasted events include rail, pin, and rack addresses
3) Go to Edit > Select All
4) Go to Edit > Copy
5) Go to Edit > Paste Special > Paste events at original times

 

This will duplicate your entire show. You can then print labels, and you will get two labels for each item. The downside of this approach is that the labels will look as though you’re wiring multiple e-matches per pin. For example, suppose your original show contains one label for address 07-15. When you duplicate the events, you will get two labels for address 07-15, one showing “1/2 e-matches” and the other “2/2 e-matches”. In this case, the e-match hints really aren’t correct but it’s two labels for the same item, not two items wired into the same firing system pin. This may not be an issue at all for you, but I just wanted to give you a heads up.

Hi Drew.

That could be a reasonable solution for what I am trying to do.

This stems from having two full sets of labels, and having one label go on the cake and the other on the wire. Having double the amount of pages is becoming problematic.

 

Thank you for this suggestion; I’ll give it a try.
