The problem with just enlarging the existing fermata is that the lines got  
way too thick and the symbol looked ridiculous at the size I needed it to  
be.  I noticed in my Baerenreiter Mozart scores that they have designed  
their own narrower line version to place as an "umbrella" over many notes.   I 
wondered if anyone had a good design they'd be willing to share; mine is ok, 
 but it looks a wimpy since it doesn't have at least a gentle broadening of 
the  line in the middle.
 
Christopher, thanks for the info on smart line; if that's something that's  
been there this whole time and I never knew it, then I'm just an idiot!   
You have to admit that it's a little counter-intuitive to go through smart 
shape  options to get to that dialogue box, though; it seems the first time 
you click  on a smart shape line that the dialogue should be triggered, just 
like dynamics  or articulations.  
 
Michael
