Huh? I'm not understanding you. Are you saying that staff styles can't be applied to partial measures? Because they can. What might be nicer/easier would be the ability to add text to a staff style, so that when applying the staff style for your bari example we could have it show (on bari), rather than the current system where we have to assign the staff style and then add an expression or a text block. Yes, that might be nice, but I'm holding out for some of the standing bugs (or features, depending on your point of view) to be ironed out first. My general productivity would depend way more on certain OTHER things being easier to do (like assign chord symbols to beats instead of always to measure items.) I think I can deal with the couple of keystrokes necessary to assign measure expressions in the meantime.

Huh? I'm not understanding you. Are you saying that staff styles can't be applied to partial measures? Because they can. No, I'm not saying that. If you read my sentence you will see that I say: to the selected measures or parts of measures. But staff styles are assigned and do their work when assigned and remain in effect until they are altered or removed. Expressions only have their effect when playback reaches that point, and then only on the sound, so for the visual a person would have to manually transpose the notes (or enter them transposed) and assign an expression to have them transposed back to the proper sound. An expression can't initiate a subsequent action (such as assigning a staff style which would be open ended until a closing expression was encountered.) The two (staff styles and expressions) work very differently on the data. Ah. I see now. ___ Finale mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
Re: [Finale] Doubling Instruments
This solution would work nicely for what I'm doing. I know that it's not hard to add an expression, but aren't we all looking for a way to minimize keystrokes? :) Giz The truly professional valve oil would be potable 80 proof!
