Unless a string section divisi is 1/2 and 1/2 (outside/inside), the probability that you will get the balance you want is less than 100%, especially with a non-professional orchestra. If possible, you might consider reorchestrating the passage with simple div. and non div. to give the correct balance. For example, with Vln. I on the "2/3" part and Vln. II div. on both parts, you get almost exactly a 2/3 to 1/3 balance, and everyone knows what to play without additional explanation. Of course, the passage may not lend itself to this kind of arrangement, but it's worth looking at. -Lee _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
