David, Some of us have clearly, rationally explained why we feel that having the region number display in the box only when it's needed is *not* a flaw in the program. Many of us prefer the current behavior for good solid reasons. In some cases you have ignored the arguments being made, and in others you have misunderstood them, e.g., you comment that the measure number box is "wide enough" to display the region number, always. That's not the point -- the point is that the measure number box becomes more cluttered and more difficult to read if the region number is always appended to the measure number. And that displaying the region number is not very useful in cases where the only ambiguity is between, e.g., the pickup measure and the first full measure. And that these instances are far more common than instances where *always* displaying the region number would be useful. Rather than address these arguments, you have simply accused us of having sympathy for the existing way of doing things because we have literally been held hostage by Finale's UI. Can you not accept that on points like this, reasonable people might reasonably disagree? I'm not saying you can't have your "Always display region" checkbox (though I will certainly be leaving it off). You, on the other hand, are saying that anyone who *doesn't* want that behavior from Finale installed as a non-configurable default is simply deluded. - Darcy ------ [EMAIL PROTECTED] Boston, MA _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
