Hi Ryan, One more time: set your *MINIMUM* measure width to 150 points or higher. (Not zero.) Leave your maximum measure width maxed. Cheers, - DJA - WEB: http://www.secretsocietymusic.org On 29 Dec 2011, at 6:09 PM, Ryan wrote: > Thanks for your advice, but I'm still getting whole rest

Thanks for your advice, but I'm still getting whole rest measures that are wider than measures with music in them. Minimum Measure Width: 0 spaces Maximum Measure Width: 1365.29167 spaces (I entered 10,000 and Finale lowered it to that value). Try this in a default document: Meter 2/4. No key sig

That didn't work, Darcy. It created the opposite of what I want. Did you perhaps mean to tell me to change the *maximum* width? That's already set at 75 spaces. This setting doesn't seem to have any bearing on Finale's default measure width for a single measure of rest. That value has to be somewh

I've tried that. Even with a minimum width of 1 space the empty measures are still wider than adjacent measures with music in them. On Dec 29, 2011, at 12:35 PM, Jari Williamsson wrote: > On 2011-12-29 00:32, Ryan wrote: >> How do I globally change the default width for measures with default

What's needed is a proper grid with options for what to show and sorting with clickable headers. But one might as well wish for a flying car. On Thu, Dec 29, 2011 at 10:04 AM, Aaron Sherber wrote: > On 12/29/2011 10:22 AM, Jari Williamsson wrote: > > I would NOT want all the description texts cl
