I'm pretty automatic with it, too, especially during the process of doing page layout. But I only do that after the notes are all entered and spaced appropriately. I didn't respace the music after changing the note values, because it didn't need to be respaced (it was generous enough that the alterations wouldn't have altered the widths of any of the measures). Since I don't have automatic music spacing turned on, and I didn't respace the music, I simply don't understand why the layout would have gotten fracked up just from me changing a few dotted whole notes to whole note + half rest, or a few half notes to half rests. In *all* cases was such that the exact same rhythm was found vertically in the same measure stack, so redoing the music spacing would not have changed the width of any of the measures in any case. -- David W.
