On just this question, and not the other ones debated here, I think that rests mean silence, but they also mark meter; notes mean sound and, while they can also mark meter, they are sometimes explicitly counter to meter as in your quarter-half-quarter example. Silence cannot be counter to meter; sound can. RY _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
