Concerning dotted 16ths, I believe one of the references is fairly clear about it. I know David Bailey said Gardner Read was silent, but I thought I remembered something in there about it nevertheless. If not there then in Kurt Stone. (Unfortunately those reference books are not here at this computer.)
At any rate, what they are fairly clear about is that you should *not* use dotted rests to fill beats, either before or after. The closest examples in Ross are some of the examples on p. 180. (These involve 8th & 4ters rather than 16ths.) This does not mean I necessarily agree with the references, however. Especially in the case of 16ths and smaller, there has been a movement among contemporary composers towards filling with dotted rests on either side of the beat. Doing so reduces clutter and leaves room for things like clef changes (or glisses, or any number of other effect notations.) -- Robert Patterson http://RobertGPatterson.com _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
