Also, in Speedy, one can make the current note the end of a tie (in FinWin2k3) by hitting Ctrl and =, merely a modification of "=" which makes the note start a tie. However, I believe that this is just a shortcut to checking "Tie End" in the Edit Frame box. -Brad

Once they are attached, you can edit them, which includes dragging the ending points, the arcs, etc., so you can place one as a slur from the last note of the first ending to the first note of the second ending, and then drag the part attached to the first note to where it is up in the air and

Finale on the PC will open a file without an extension -- the problem is that it won't show up in the Finale Open File dialogue unless you select Show All Files. But once you can see it in the window, Finale isn't looking for extensions to know if it is a valid Finale file, it is looking for

All you would need to get such a page-break to work from a plug-in would be to simultaneous add the measure-attribute of Begin New System with the plug-in as well. So such a plug-in in would actually be a good thing for multi-movement works in a single file, where for whatever reason the clien
