Question for Mr. Smith and the list: <snip> Same for "voices", I learned here on the list never to touch them, and to use layers instead, even though it is one of the first topics in the tutorials.</snip>
I'm a regular user of Finale, almost exclusively for church music purposes, since 3.7 or so. I attended the "Unaccredited Finale School of Hard Knocks" for my education in the tool, but can get by pretty well - and recently, in large part, with much information gleaned from this list. But this snip from a very recent post has me scratching my head again. I transcribe/arrange/compose for church choral use a fair amount, and in doing SATB 2-staff notation, there are definitely some times when the flexibility afforded by voices/layers is required. May I ask why there seems to be such a prejudice in the list for layers over voices? Probably due to my lack of skill and experience with them, I find layers to be difficult to use, mostly because they introduce extraneous rests into the combined staff parts. Sorry to drag up again what must be a well-worn subject for much more experienced Finale sages.
