Very often I find myself wanting to use put 3/2 and 6/4 time signatures in a measure, especially when it alternates with 4/4 time. In practice this looks like 36/24, although that is of course not what it means. Is there any way to get Finale to show this? Aaron J. Rabushka [EMAIL PROTECTED] ht

You're right Aaron. The expression tool is what my newest adventure was which is now disappearing after I close the page and then return. Thought I might experiment with the smart shape tool as David thought I might want to try. Wow! George - Original Message - From: "Aaron Sherber" <[

George, I know this doesn't answer your question about the crash, but why are you creating cresc. and dim. in Photoshop? If you mean these as text 'cresc' and 'dim', then you should be using the Finale Expression tool (text expressions). If you're trying to create hairpins, then look at the Sma

At the time, I was real new to Finale and made the cresc etc. in photoshop to import them since that was the only way I could do it at the time. I tried doing them now only because I had saved them but, since I figured out how to do them using 'expressions' which I liked better, I decided to try
