Hi all,

As experienced as I am with Finale, I’ve never tried this — 12/8 on some staves 
and 4/4 on others with the dotted quarter and quarter being equal. I’m writing 
some things for classical string players and classical guitarists, and getting 
anticipations played correctly requires triple subdivisions of the quarter 
note. People used to jazz notation interpret eight notes in context, but I 
can’t expect even really good musicians without that experience to know when 
the eighths are more or less equal and when they’re swung, so I end up writing 
music cluttered with triplets. Being able to switch between 12/8 and 4/4 would 
result in a cleaner look.

Have any of you done this? Is it practical? 

Thanks,

Chuck
