Hmm, OK, I guess I can see that. On the other hand, you COULD write that as 6/8 measures with quadruplets over the dotted-crotchet beat, and then a 2/8 measure with normal quavers. That's pretty much the same, right? If I'm conducting it's easy for me to think 6/8 to 2/8 than 2/4 to two-thirds/4. Also, I'm still not clear on how you mark a triplet as a triplet when only two of the three notes are there. Sounds to me like using a shape expression for the time signature is your best bet. If you need the Finale file to be internally accurate (eg, for playback) you'll have some kludging to do. mdl (curious to know if MusicXML is equipped to handle this...) _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
