Finale 2012a MacOS 10.5.8 Can anyone else recreate this?
In 3/2, 6/4, or 12/8 time, put in a dotted whole note. In another layer, force a whole rest (speedy entry 7). Space the measure. I get extra space added to the front of the measure. If I remove the forced whole rest, it is spaced normally. If I change the dotted whole note to any other note value and/or rhythmic combination, it is spaced normally. If I change the forced whole rest to other rest values, it is spaced normally. I get this bad spacing no matter which layer the notes are entered in. This seems to only happen when there's a dotted whole note on the first beat in conjunction with a forced whole rest. If you use a whole rest and fill the rest of the measure with rests, it doesn't happen. But, filling the other voice with more than a whole rest isn't standard, so I'd like to avoid it. (I get this in larger time signatures like 9/4, 12/4, etc.) Finale Tech support claims not to get this bug. They recommended I trash preferences and restart. The same behavior still happens. This also happens in my version of 2010 and 2008. _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
