4/4+3/4 in a repeating pattern, and that would require time signature changes in the score (whether you displayed them or not),
I've dealt with even this by having 7/4 bars, dotting the intermediate barlines down the parts with notes in them and faking the signature to 4+3/4.
I'm not sure I'd finger Finale's problems with being measure-based here for the issue, as I think creating countable rests is something that transcends the issue of how the stuff is notated. As I said, I don't know how you rehearse without measure numbers...
Like many composers, I encountered a 'barline crisis' and wrote a bit without. I came to the conclusion that players and listeners divide simple things up anyway and complex rhythms tend to easily
overcome the 'tyranny'. Steve P. _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
