…which, for convenience, I shall style "professional engraver's tools", either for plug-ins, or to add to Finale itself. They should also have functionality within the shape designer subsystem
1) "Virtual dividers": click first one point, then on another, and the plug in will display the distance between the two points in your choice of units: inches, picas, mms, EVPU's, or spaces; 2) "Virtual compass": click a pivot point, click a second point, representing the endpoint of a radius of a circle, click a third point; the v.c. will draw an arc of a circle between the second point, and a point on the radius of the circle that would intersect with the line from the pivot through the third point. 3) "floating scale": a persistent, "tranparent" (it does not obscure the notation elements on top of which it may be located) ruler, which may be oriented in any direction, and which may, at the user's option, be scaled to inches, mm, picas, spaces, or EVPU's. ns _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
