In my last post, I said that in older versions of Finale repeat text attached to the last measure of a multimeasure rest region would not show. Actually, now that I think about it, the way Finale used to behave is that it automatically would not include measures that had repeat text attached to them in multimeasure rests. So, for example, if you had a "D.S. al Coda" indication at the end of a bunch of empty measures that you normally would want to see as a multimeasure rest, Finale would make a multimeasure rest of all but that last measure (to which the "D.S. al Coda" text was attached) and then have a one-bar rest measure with the repeat text. Obviously, this situation was not ideal, so that is why so many long-time Finale users got used to attaching "dummy" text repeats to the first bar of the multimeasure rest region or using expressions instead of repeat text.
As I said in my previous post, this problem (except for being able to drag the position of unlinked repeat text attached to the last measure of a multimeasure rest region) was corrected several versions ago. -Brian Williams _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
