if you are still entering music it should be on. once you are cleaning up the parts, it should be off. obviously it would be best to do all the cues in the score before doing the parts, but i know this is not always possible. if you have started working on the parts and then add music or cues and need the MM rests to break then this can be done manually (selectively, not to the entire document) after it has been turned off.
it really is a workflow issue (when you do what in which order). i don't see how this particular tool could be made intelligent enough to "know" when i need it to be on/off. so i need to know at what point it can no longer help me "blindly" and turn it off. is that clear? this is one of those things that is just clear in my head for the work i do and maybe i can't *explain* so clearly :-), but i hope this helps. >OK, Jef...I'm listening...when should it be on? Off? _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
