Well, to each his own. You complained that one can't place a measure expression precisely. In fact, you can; you just don't like using the units. OK. I think Finale would do well to add more options for choice of units for any think that requires a rhythmic value. Just like you can choose inches, picas, points or EVPUS for unit of distance, you could choose wholes, halves, quarters, eighths, etc., in place of EDUs for unit of time. So instead of saying 512 EDUs, you could say 1 eighth, 0.5 quarter, 0.125 whole, etc. I can't imagine that would be too difficult for them to implement. I think that's a reasonable feature request. It changes nothing for those who are comfortable with EDUs, and it makes it easier for those who aren't. >That was not happening at all. > >What controller are you using? Sustain pedal (64)?

The note-attached pedal marks do not start until the >beginning of the beat, not with the rolled notes. This is very strange. I wonder why yours and mine aren't the same. On my tests, when you start a sustain simultaneously with a rolled chord, the playback figures that all the notes of the rolled chord should be included, even if they start playing before the beat. I think we both agree that's how it should be, and it sounds like if yours worked like mine all your complaints would be addressed. I'm on FinMac2k2. I'm just using the plain computer speaker playback, not exporting to a MIDI device, but I don't think that should make a difference. If you want to create a small file that works wrong on yours and send it to me, I can try it out on mine and see if I can find the difference. mdl _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
