Hmm, I will concede that you probably know what you're talking about more than I do, but it seems to me that a2 appearing on a violin part means two players only. I see a2 on staves where there are two clarinetists, who happen to be playing in unison at that moment; perhaps the term is misused there? _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
