Higher than B above the treble staff is no problem; that's what the comma is for. Lower than C below the bass staff is a nuisance. I wish there were a key to get me the next octave down. I typically get low bass notes by typing low C in my left hand and then down arrows with my right thumb. But if there's a lot of low bass, I'll enter the whole passage an octave higher and then transpose it all en masse. mdl _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
