Re: [Finale] aligning repeat signs with Time Signature changes

[David H. Bailey]

This is a long-standing discrepancy between Finale and what many accept 
as standard notational practice.  Send a complaint to 
[EMAIL PROTECTED] or [EMAIL PROTECTED] and wait to see how 
long it takes them to act on it (i.e. give us the option to have key 
signatures and time signatures inside or outside the repeat signs as WE 
feel if most appropriate.)

Some workarounds?

You can insert a short measure (messes up measure numbers and playback 
but you can make the layout look proper) just before the measure you 
want to look like there is a repeat to.  Make it something like 1/8 or 
shorter, set the time signature to always hide for this measure and have 
the opening repeat sign be on this invisible measure (enter a rest and 
hide it with the o key and use measure tool to make the barline 
invisible).  Set the time signature to Always Show for the normal 
measure you want it to look like the repeat is going back to.  You may 
have to drag barlines in page layout to make things look exactly as you 
want them to.

OR

You can set the time signature to Always Hide for the measure the repeat 
sign is beginning and place a time signature as an expression.  You 
still need to mess with spacing issues.

I'm having problems with repeat signs at measures where the meter is 
changing- the Time signature is ending up between the two repeat signs, 
as opposed to being at the right of the repeat sign. Any help?
