Why use a space when you can use <> to hide it for printing and make it, therefore, readable onscreen? In most of my Finale files that I prepare for MIDI performance I have <p>, <f>, <pp>, <ff> and <mf>, which are all for setting dynamics that need to happen in performance that are not indicated in the score. Before Finale had a way to hide expressions (before Finale 97), I used blank ones (no space was needed), and then I couldn't tell from looking at the score what expressions where there at all. -- David W.
