Finale gives you staff-by-staff control
over the display of such staff-associated items as measure numbers, clefs,
repeat brackets, and so on. For example, you probably don’t need measure
numbers to appear in both the top and bottom staves of your piano part,
so you can hide the measure numbers on one staff. See also Global Staff Attributes, where
you can set the staff attributes for a number of staves at one time.
