I don't think it is a terrible feature, but it should absolutely be an
option, not the default.

Thanks, Steve, Christopher and Craig--too helpful, indeed. I remember
seeing that option when I was going through the preferences and just
thought it would color-code noteheads or something. Had no idea it would
move notes around, especially I wasn't copying notes. - Don

Look at Edit-Preferences. There is an option for "Respect instrument
ranges when copying". This may be your problem. I always leave that
turned off because it seems "too helpful", if you know what I mean.

For long periods of the same rhythm I use slashes, 8 bars a line or whatever is
structurally relevant, structural clues with thick barlines, big numbers at end
of line (in brackets) to indicate how many bars have passed.

Thanks Geoff. That is essentially the solution I stumbled on before I
saw your response.
I take you point about the possibility of making pencil marks
mid-section, but if there are important punches, I try to indicate them
anyway. I'm not sure I have seen a drummer with a pencil recently. :)
I am looking at "Guide to Standardized Drumset Notation" by Norman
Weinberg. I have found this to be a very good guide.
I really dislike the slash notation or the repeat bar approach in most
cases because that means the drummer has to start at the chart to count
how many measures before the ne
Hi Everyone--Happy New Year,
Got to the end of a bigger project and like a few others on this list,
decided to break out 2014 (10.9.5 on a MacBook Air). I thought converting
a string quintet arrangement to string orchestra would be a good job to
figure out newer aspects of the program but not get
As a player, my preference would be to see single repeat marks in bars
instead of rests (staff style O).
In addition to Jef¹s suggestion, another option is to create a multi
measure rest. Then select the measure and apply the staff style to it. I
created expressions for 6X (for an 8-bar phrase, o
I was just struggling with the same OTF issue this week. I¹m using several
really useful DVM fonts (Metronome, MetTimes, and a couple more Met-
fonts) that I had installed as OTFs.
Finale was good with some of the fonts, but others were described in
italics as ³missing² or simply didn¹t appear in t
This is my method too, for the reasons jef suggests.

that would effectively distinguish it from a MM rest.
8 measures per system (for ex.) with no text indications or whatever
doesn't clutter the part. and if the band needs to start from a
particular measure in such a passage,
This may be a pain, but what I might do is (after creating the multimeasure
rest), enter a note orrest in the first bar of it. (It can be a hidden.)
That causes the multimeas rest to disappear and you can then make it look
however you like. I do this for TACET passages where I don't want to show
