[Finale] Two questions WinFin 2004b

2006-03-24 Thread D. Keneth Fowler
These are probably in Finale 101, but . . . . How do I place brackets on eighth note triplets? The quarters seem to get brackets automatically, but no luck with eighths. Did I miss it in the Manual? I vaguely remember long ago using a character to mark chords that are to be rolled. As I reme

[Finale] Voices vs. Layers

2006-03-24 Thread Brian Williams
Does anyone else use voices instead of layers in most single-bar rhythmically-independent divisi situations? The advantages of voices over layers are: 1) common rests remain centered in the measure 2) independent rests can be placed on-the-fly depending on where the cursor is when you launch the s
