Say, when we play standard song, which my band usually use for closing the set, we don't rehears. I mean, it's standard! We know it by heart, and how we begin and end a standard song is up to the mood of the night. That's jazz to me. :-) Otherwise, all the selections are either my composition or my arrangement of standard, therefore every measures are numbered as I like the way it is. I really don't care what is the convention. I do what it works for me and what it works for musicians I gig with. One of the biggest reasons I chose Finale back when I bought version 1.0 was that I can create my own rit. sign, which is a slanted downward arrow with "rit" word above it, and is placed above measure(s). Where the arrow starts is where the rit starts, and where the arrow ends is where the rit ends. This might make people who doesn't approve unconventional notation uncomfortable on this list, but it works very well with the musicians I work with :-) -- - Hiro Hiroaki Honshuku, A-NO-NE Music, Boston, MA <http://a-no-ne.com> <http://anonemusic.com> _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [email protected] http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
