RE: [Finale] How to separate melody from chordal accompaniment?

Ummm... This request puzzled me, because I just *knew* I had implemented it. But nobody else mentioned it, so I double-checked. Yes, you can turn off all chord playback in Finale 2003. Chord menu >> Enable Chord Playback. "Your wish is granted -- Long Live Zambi!" Randy > -Original Messag

This could be the last time I announce updates of Patterson Plugins for a while, although there may be further relatively minor tweaks in the near term. The main news is that Mass Copy has added measure-attached expressions. This is measure expression copying done as right as I can imagine it.

That was my mistake -- I was not doing cross-staff. I forgot that wasn't the only use for Note Mover and had neglected to check that before trying my experiment. So I was actually moving the notes to the other staff, not simply having them appear in the other staff as they do with cross-staff

Hi David, That's interesting. I just tried it again on my FinWin2003 system and confirmed that note mover in cross staff mode most assuredly does not move rests, whether at the beginning, middle, or end of a measure. >From your description, it sounds like you have some sort of option on to fill
