Actually, there really is no workaround. I can't turn off spacing for layer 1, because all the other music in other parts in a measure with blank notation in one part needs to be used to account for spacing. Occasionally I can get correct spacing where the "busiest" part has no blank notation, but that's very seldom. It's too bad partial measure selection doesn't really work, as then in a lot of cases I could do the spacing by selecting parts of various measures. But what happens is that selecting a partial measure and applying spacing effects the entire measure, so partial measure selection doesn't really work as advertised for music spacing. > Please report this to techsupport.

If anyone is working with older versions of Finale, I'd like to know. In any event, I'm simply not going to upgrade, so I'm going to have to change my methods. *sigh* -- David W.
