hello again mr. lew, > 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.
i think we can say that we should get the same results. but i should had explain the context better: previous to that two-thirds/4 i have some 30 measures in 2/4, all of them with binary subdivisions, mostly semi and demi-semiquavers, in a mid-slow tempo. i guess you wouldn't like to write them in 6/8 with n-tuplets, above all because they do not *sound* in 6/8 but 2/4. > Also, I'm still not clear on how you mark a triplet as a triplet when only > two of the three notes are there. sorry, i'm not sure of getting this, my english is not good. do you mean *mark* as in conducting? or writing? in the latter case i would write them as *incomplete* triplets and just explain it in a 'nota bene'. in the former case, well, there are some techniques to do that. > 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. in fact, following your advice in your previous e-mail, i got fairly good results. it worked very well. thanks! as i said before, finale can play .666666/4 measures. put that together with your display tip and there is it! and as i'm not using x+x time-signatures that solved the problem for now. a pity it cannot be set the font size for the (upper) numbers. again, thank you very much indeed, and please, excuse my english, best regards, marcelo _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
