Yeah, I suspected that. >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. Well, my thinking is that if you need to have a nota bene anyway, you may as well write the measure in a traditional meter and have the nota bene explain that the tempo changes to 2/3 of the previous beat. But others have explained here that the 2/3 / 4 notation is conventional in certain circles, so that's good enough for me. The most important thing is that the musicians understand it. >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. Glad I could help. I was worried that the larger numbers would make it ambiguous. That is, that the slash in "2/3" would look it means alternate, rather than a fraction. mdl _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
