(Wish I'd thought of > it.) Actually, this was one of the original solutions I was contemplating, and I somehow lost sight of it until others on the list reminded me that "Div in 3" within a section is much more common than "Div in 3" across both violin sections. In light of the discussion here, it seems obvious that it's the right way to go, since that's what players are used to seeing. However, I can't resist pointing out that this allegedly terrible problem about who is to play which part in a 2:1 divisi is *exactly* the same as the problem as to who is to play which part in a true 3-way divisi. It's just that in the former case the "first" part and the "second" part are the same. - Darcy ----- [EMAIL PROTECTED] Boston MA _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
