The time sig metatools as stated have been around for a while, though it doesn't say much about them in the manuals - surprising since it's such a useful feature, and I bet loads of folk don't know about them. For anyone who doesn't know, metatools can be programmed and used in all of the following tools:
Staff tool (staff Styles) Key Signature tool Time Signature tool Clef tool Tuplet tool (This for me has been a godsend. I can set '3' to be 3 8ths in the time of two, and to always show the bracket, and it does it correctly even if the rhythm is quarter then eighth.) Smart Shape tool Articulation tool Expression tool Repeat Tool Chord Tool Programming them in all cases involves holding down shift and pressing any letter or top-row number key. None of these is a new feature for Finale 2K4, to my knowledge they were all available as stated in 2K2, and possibly earlier.

You can program your own. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Clay Zambo Sent: Tuesday, March 23, 2004 11:35 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Finale] Re: New Time Sig Metatools Once upon a time (on 3/22/04 1:01 PM), David Froom <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Now with the metatools, with time signature tool selected you hold a > metatool key and click a measure, and the new signature is popped > right in. Wow! Now I _really_ can't wait for the os9 version! Anybody have the skinny on when that might be out? -Clay _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
