Thanks for your quick response. Yes, that's what I have been doing too. But if I pre-fill hidden layer with a rest per beat, that screws the spacing so I quit doing that.... Or is there option to have one layer excluded from beat spacing? Oh, wait! You said "hide layer", which is new to me. I have been doing with 'o' to hide the notes for chord placeholder. D'oh! Sure enough, there are much more layer options than I was used to. Thank you so much for this tip. -- - Hiro Hiroaki Honshuku, A-NO-NE Music, Boston, MA <http://a-no-ne.com> <http://anonemusic.com> _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
