I agree totally with the above.

I disagree completely with Mark. If you compare the "wrong" hyphenation of older scores with dictionaries of the time, you will find that most of the hyphenation corresponds with the syllabification found in those dictionaries. (OK, feel free to shoot me down ... But please provide actual examples and corresponding dictionary syllabification. I *might* be persuaded to change my [admittedly stubborn (and possibly mistaken)] opinion. Assuming that hyphenation *does* follow syllabification, I have often thought how nice it would be if Finale would include an online hyphenation dictionary ...) -- Weldon Whipple [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
