THis is a bit of a change of subject, but speaking of unintended behaviours screwing up one's scores, how about the repeat tool? I put in a segno $ at the beginning of measure 5, showing where I will be jumping back to. I put in a segno at the END of measure 16, indicating from where I will be jumping. If I happen to scroll back to measure 5 at some point, the segno I put in at the BEGINNING of measure 5 is now at the END of the measure, in other words, duplicating the positioning I used in measure 16. If I never happen to look at measure 5 again, my segno is in the wrong place. If I move the measure 5 segno backt o where I think it should go, the measure 16 segno moves, too! There are two workarounds, one is creating a second segno, the other is using only staff expression segnos instead of Repeat Tool segnos, which NEVER change positioning once you have put them in. This bug... I mean, unexpected but very consistent behaviour, must have caught every single one of us at some time, possibly after the parts were printed. We are all so used to it now that we don't even think about the illogicity of it any more. Kind of like the lyric tool. _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
