In french “Alto” is the word for both alto and for viola. Thus every time I create a score with SATB and strings (doing a lot of scores like that right now) the two seperate and very different “alto” parts are numbered 1 and 2. Please advise on how to remove this unnecessary numbering!
If you want the same instrument name, your best bet is probably adding a Space to the beginning of one of them so that they appear the same, but aren’t.

Thanks I saw this as a solution to a similar thread… is this really as good as it gets? There isn’t a de-numbering button (a feature in finale)?
Not as of yet, to the best of my knowledge. I’m quite sure that it’s on the (long) list of things to do.
Ok, then you, fine sir, have solved my problem!
Can you put the singers into a separate group to avoid the numbering?
You can but it will affect the bracketing and bar lines. But, of course you can change these manually though I would just do the enter-the-space-thingy instead.
