Yeah, this is a stupid behaviour of all the repeat tool signs. When you enter more than one, EVERY incidence is forced to the same positioning. For instance, if you enter the Coda sign at the end of bar 8, then another at the BEGINNING of bar 30, then the one you put in at the end of bar 8 moves to the beginning to match the last one you positioned. Stupid, I know. And there are other issues involving how it calculates the distance from the measure that I hate, that only affect THIS tool. Dumb, dumb, dumb. You can duplicate the signs, and enter one for beginning positioning and the other for end positioning, but I use Darcy's method of entering them as measure expressions, so they space and position predictably. I don't care about playback either, which is the only disadvantage to my method. _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
