Re: [Finale] Re Re: Wandering tempo markings
are you using individual time signatures on your staves? or are you using a pickup measure? both these things can cause that problem if you have a pickup measure, then instead of using Finale's old way of entering a pickup measure - just use a different time signature for that first incomplete measure - for instance: in a 4/4 piece with a quarter note pickup: enter a 1/4 time signature for that first measure with the option of displaying 4/4 rather than 1/4 (that is an option when applying time signatures) the problem of jumping expressions should disappear - good luck.
