[Finale] OT: VPC Taping Machine

2004-03-24 Thread Darcy James Argue
Hi all, I have a question about the VPC taping machine. The whole point of the "machine" is to fan multiple pages slightly so that the tape can catch the edge of the paper. But, of course, this results in an uneven right edge once the tape is applied. I was curious how others deal with this

Christopher, Thanks very much for the reply. It's very effective, at least for notating. What I'm running into, though, is that the notes I want to hear aren't being played back- when I 'pull' the notes into their new staff, they are always 'dropped' in a specified note on the new staff, and the
