Re: [Finale] unisons and spacing

[Chuck Israels]

Just an esthetic judgment - but I like #1 better. If it looks better, then I think it "reads" better.

Here's the situation: two voices on the same staff: one whole note in once voice and four 8th notes in the other, the first of which is a unison with the whole note. I avoided the collision between the two noteheads, of course. But then, should the four 8th notes be equally spaced, or should the first two be closer to compensate for the double notehead?

Would be easier with a picture, but:

we e e e

or

we e e e

Finale's spacing does the latter, with the first two 8th notes closer then the following ones.

What to you think is best?

Thanks,
