See my reply to David on this. The halfway point always being visible is, IMHO, a misinterpretation of the "always show 4 of the smallest subdivision" rule. If the smallest subdivision in a measure is a 1/4 note, then there is no need to show the 3rd beat. We only need to see the 3rd beat if there are eighth notes, and every beat only if there are 16th notes in the grouping. _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
