Actually, note or measure expressions work very well. They stay were you want them to stay in relation to the music. Use lyrics only when you want a section in rhythm. RBH Ralph Whitfield wrote: Fellow listers... What is the best way to handle a narration in a choral score? Lyric?

Hit CTL-T by accident... I was saying that it was a lot of work, but I had to know if it was the Revere font or Graphire's spacing algorithms that made Graphire pages look so good. Since I'm using a good-looking template (not one of Finale's) for spacing, together with Patterson and TGTools

Um, Graphire was a Mac program. I don't ever remember it being a Windows program. Let me check to see if the font is still in my System 9 directory and if I can convert it. Though, doesn't one still need to have a Font Annotation for it? I thought www.finaletips.nu had it once upon a time.
