Perhaps there might come a time when I want to create unusual spacing--say, a visual speeding up of the same note values, or something like that--and can most easily accomplish that for multiple staves by putting some divided note values in an invisible layer somewhere that are subject to note spacing. I know there are other ways to accomplish this, but I see it as another example of Finale's flexibility...
