But what about having system breaks in scroll view? I think it would be possible because of the way I've noticed the selection handled in certain kinds of repeats. It also reminds me of my suggestion from many moons ago that barlines have their status upped to be objects with graphical and playback elements. 'Member that fantasia? A barline object could theoretically know it's at a system break in Scroll View and draw itself accordingly. For all of us Scroll View buffs, this would be a handsome feature. It seems to me also that it might be a way Finale could eventually handle barlines in scores with asynchronous meters. The other part of that suggestion was "Barline Expressions". This would be new expression layer with the ability to trigger independent playback of Note files -- "tempo-less" effects not related to the current meter in the score. They would also provide a way to (roughly) separate expressions into those affecting dynamics from those affecting things like patch changes and tempo. For copying purposes this could mean less editing afterwards. For note entry and recording, the ability to set up an orchestral outline.
