This is a long shot indeed -- since I was unable to uncover any info on

Does anyone know of a hack to enable dual-monitor support on the

When I ordered my second monitor, I (stupidly) assumed that becau
I agree that the multimeasure rests should make sense with the phrasing
of the surrounding music, not some arbitrary grouping of 5 or 10
measures per rest. When I run into long groups of such I pencil in the
groupings of the rests that make the most sense musically.

Yes! - it's appalling and offers no help
At how many measures should one start to convert to multimeasure
rests with numbers? I think Finale's default is 10. That sounds like
a lot. The Essential Dictionary of Music Notation says anything over
1 measure. Ted Ross gives a system with symbols for 2 to 8, and uses
numbers starting at 9.
That's all very well, but if you look at modern (European) editions of Early
music using such long measures you will find that the more authorative ones
all use double whole rests in longer measures than 2/2. As I said, I am not
entirely sure about 3/2, perhaps a single whole rest is correct here (

The general rule is a maximum of six. Put a little horizontal divider line

I think you're misunderstanding. Finale will by default put a number over
all MM rests. The option "Use symbols for rests less than X measu

Have you investigated the inner workings of the drivers for the sound
card? Perhaps there is a latency setting for that.
What happens if you don't use the Fin2004 softsynth? Still get the same
latency?
Sounds like a question to ask the tech support people for the audio card.

I may be misunderstanding what you are asking about multi-measure rests and numbers -
If it's more than one bar rest I want a number with it.
All the best,
