Actually, I said that one could use key velocities OR the volume controller. One could use the expression controller for that matter. My point is that it is just as quick and painless no matter what approach you take. I use CC 7 (Volume) 95% of the time. I don't want to poo-poo the things Sibelius can do as meaningless just because my preferred application doesn't do them. I'm sure that if Finale introduced automatic volume fluctuations based on traditional notation standards which were tastefully implemented and easy to reshape or turn off, then I would not complain, and would eventually come to appreciate it. But, I would love to see the whole interface revamped before gumming up the works with such things. The ability to see, draw, and reshape controllers right on the score (I'm not talking about the one-staff-at-a-time MIDI tool window) would be a good start! So would dependable playback of such things. tim _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
