If you're inputting lyrics (Type Into Score) and want to get from 1 to 2 you press the down arrow, so that to me means that it is internally inconsistent. The logic seems pretty simple to me, make any numbered list and see which way you wrote it ... top to bottom most likely. That's why the lists of instruments in the instrument list run from top to bottom, and why text expression numbers start with 1 at the top. Number 1 is first, and that should be at the top - it is back to front. I understand your idea of higher numbered blocks, but I'm struggling to think of any real world analogies where it's actually used, and it's use in Finale is very much the exception to the rule. -- Simon Troup Digital Music Art _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
