Exactly. I don't remember if I was ever given the rule cited by Tobias in college or elsewhere, but in my experience it's "pulse equals pulse" if the composer or arranger is too lame to leave out this important indication. So when going from 4/4 to 6/8, the quarter equals a dotted quarter; when going from 2/4 to 2/2, the quarter equals a half, etc. Best, Doug _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
