I have never figured out how to respond to the "There are too many beats in this measure" dialog. I used to try to figure it out by choosing different responses whenever I entered too many notes, but I always chose the wrong button to click. Here are some of the choices I would think would be reasonable: 1. Truncate the length of the last note I entered, so that it "fills up" the measure. 2. Don't add the last note I entered at all. (Cancel that last request). I will re-add the note. 3. Make the "too-long" note spill into the next measure by adding two shorter notes (one at the end of the first measure, the other at the beginning of the second, connected with a tie). 4. Really add the note. There might be other things I would want to do, depending on the situation. I no longer even try to think about the dialog. I just press Enter and then fix up whatever resulting mess occurred. Weldon (P.S. BTW, I was overcome by curiosity last week and ordered a copy of Sibelius for Finale/Encore users, just for well-rounded-ness. I have installed it but haven't had much of a chance to use it. FWIW, they DO want either the original title-page and contents page [or something like that] from the owner's manual or the original CD. I felt extremely annoyed initially, but finally sent them the CD from an old version of Finale that I had sitting around ... Actually, I still feel very annoyed about the whole thing--copy protection, etc. ... but try not to let my stubbornness stand in the way of learning about something new ...) -- Weldon Whipple [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.whipple.org _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
