I wish there were a number of things that could be locked and not
changed:
1. manual spacing
2. cautionary accidentals
3. manual beaming breaks
All of these edits, despite my having explicitly told Finale I want to
override the defaults, are volatile and get blown away by the simplest
changes. Numbers 2 & 3 really oughtn't get overriden at all, and your
request, for the ability to lock a measure's spacing, would be a very
good thing. If that were combined with the addition of a spacing
metatool keyboard modifier to force-override that locked spacing (such
as ctrl-4), that would be even better.
Not quite the same, but reading this reminded me of it: I use dotted
quarter rests in 6/8, 9/8 and 12/8, because I think it makes it easier
to see where the beats are. Whenever I copy a measure, Finale turns each
of these into a quarter plus an eighth. This is just what I would expect
Sibelius to do (:-)> but is there somewhere that I can tell Finale to
believe me?
In the quantization settings (perhaps in the More Options button) there
is a "Use Dotted Rests" checkbox.
