I considered that. But an old teacher of mine used to say that one should take into account those who are not playing as much as those who are playing. For those who are not playing in that bar, or who have just a quarter note on the beat in question, molto rit implies that the beat continues in some fashion, and the left hand cues to the one moving instrument will confuse the matter. A fermata on that beat clearly tells the player that we're going to pause here a moment until the conductor's baton gives the next beat. Thanks, Aaron. _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
