Ricordi uses this style as well (but if your goal is to imitate Ricordi you're already out of luck, because they use a baseline hyphen, and Finale doesn't support that). I think you go too far in implying that showing the hyphen at the beginning of the system is more correct. That may be the traditional style for Novello and Ricordi, but most publishers don't do it that way. mdl _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
