In Italian there's no need to make the rules for vocal music different from the rules for regular printed text, because Italian already divides in a way compatible with singing (ie, before a consonant cluster, with exceptions). Latin divides mostly between consonant pairs, including those beginning with "s". Many music editors amend the Latin rules to divide before an "s". mdl _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
