And wrong. But now two different people thought I was saying otherwise, so let me repeat myself: a2 indicates that a pair of parts *that are normally separate from each other* are now *temporarily* sharing a single line of music. Got it? There were two lines of music on the staff, and now there is only one, and the instruction "a2" shows that the players of both the preceding lines are to play together on the single line. OK? Understood? And do, please, note the "standard" quote reference to BJ Smith, who in fact has nothing to do with this exchange. I should think it the most obvious thing in the world that such misleading irrelevancies should be clipped. -- Andrew Stiller Kallisti Music Press http://www.kallistimusic.com _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
