[Finale] Beaming 16th Notes

Hello, I'm trying to beam a note as single 16th note with a beam as it would be if extended over a rest, but it's the last note in 3/8 time with other rests before it, and I don't want it beamed within the previous group. In the Finale options (2003), I can just find the Extend Beams Over Rest

The best way is to make the two measures, making a 3/4 measure and a 1/4 measure and hiding both time signatures. You'll have to adjust your measure numbers, if you're using them. [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I'm editing an early 19th Century concerted choral work, and about midway thru the

Thinking about it ... is 'ad lib' the right term for a few bars that can be missed out? I'm more used to seeing 'ad lib' in the context of cadenzas or sections where the 'soloist' is in control of the tempo/interpretation. Maybe the bars in question should be indicated with brackets and marked as

Below would be my choice as well. As for the objection that it can't be used if correct spacing were an issue, I ask why. Spacing is adjustable to make room for this, using the beat chart for one thing. Not even the shape designer would be absolutely needed. Select the line tool from the smart
