[Finale] Spacing and other problems

2004-02-15 Thread dr.a.s. weinstangel
I am running into spacing problems in typesetting cantorial free-improvisational segments in one of my choral works.     In selected bars I need to space the material in the solo voice independently from the accompanying choir material. “Apply Time signature spacing” gives the best results for the

[Finale] Could Count Items count beats?

Oh the Wise Ones!For some situations it would be very helpful if the Count Items plug-in could count the number of beats (rather than notes) for a section (or the whole piece). How could this be accomplished? Dr.A.S.Weinstangel [EMAIL PROTECTED]  Protect your PC - Click here for McAfee.com Virus
