Hi Folks, couldn't find this issue in past threads, so I apologize if this is an oft-repeated question.
How do you all feel about using dotted quarters in 6/8, 9/8, 12/8 and dotted halves in 12/8? If you tell finale to fill a bar with rests, it uses the quarter and eighth rests rather than dotted ones. I think that's fine for 6/8, but when you get into the larger meters, having so many symbols makes it difficult to group the beats together (e.g. there is no real "half" rest for 12/8, which makes it hard to divide it into mentally-manageable chunks). Aside from your opinions on the subject, I guess my real question is this: Is there a way for me to make Finale use the rests that I prefer in a given meter? I haven't spent much time looking yet, but figured you guys could save me an hour or two! Thanks!
