I too have not been at it as long as you have, (I've been singing for 20 of my 30 years on the earth) and I agree with you 100%. I used to take all my old-style music and reenter it into finale to get my chops up and better understand the piece. On 6/22/04 12:47 PM, "David W.

It's such a waste of time to try to explain the ties that I end up just telling the singers where to put it. In the end, it saves time. Guy--you're missing out on some great music. I hope we can convince you to look at some of it. Allen _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
