I mis-spoke here about WinFin97. Alternate notation was applied to a region after selecting the region with the MassEdit tool. Alternate Notation was the third choice from the bottom of the MassEdit menu. Open up WinFin97 and try it yourself. And in WinFin97, the blank notation version is exactly the same width as what happens when you space a version that has only the visible notation. In other words, blank notation *was* different in WinFin97, and the only way to accomplish the same thing in the versions of Finale since Staff Styles were introduced is with the Staff Styles that you agree do not space the notes correctly. It's a bug. It's not a feature request. It's something that doesn't work properly. -- David W.
