I'll have to cast my lot with Andrew Stiller in this instance. If one
wants to spend the time and effort, one can adapt techniques used in
typesetting to use in Finale, and thereby produce "professional text
output". While it is true, Finale lacks many features of modern page
layout software, b

Use 2, 3, more aligned blocks. No, it's not hard and it's not time-consuming.
My 13-page catalog on 8 folded sheets displays as many as 4 columns per sheet.

Hi List,
When I was at the NAMM show, I was lucky enough to run into Beth Sorenson, a
lead developer at MakeMusic. (Not sure what her exact title is.) One of the
things we talked about was the nature of the text block formatting. I requested
that it be made to be a little bit more like a word
Hi List,
In Common time, I have a pick-up measure of 3 quarter notes. For the
instruments who don't play, would you prefer to see:
3 quarter rests
1 quarter rest and 1 half rest
Is there a "correct" answer for this case or is it open to interpretation? This
music will be read by beginners, in
What about a dotted half rest?

No, thanks. Dotted half rests aren't allowed in common time or 4/4 in any
circumstance in my opinion. Rests should never hide the 3rd beat or the middle
of a bar. (So, no half rests in 3/4.)
I think I'll stick with the 3 quarter rests I had initially since the

Hi Ryan,
The standard solution would be quarter rest, half rest. Three quarter
rests is -- I don't want to say "wrong," but certainly nonstandard in
the situation you describe.

And I think that an awful lot of printed music looks awful precisely
because of the poor use of rests. A lot of it has to do with the

Hopefully we'll see a change pretty soon!
