I prefer TG Tools' iimplementation of word extensions. It seems to be much more intelligent and logical. I have always turned off the Smart ones because I bought TG Tools.

Dear Readers,

I am working on a choral piece in closed vocal scoring, where lyrics are�shared by all voices and are located between the SA and TB staves (like a hymn).� I have to enter a short phrase of lyrics below the T/B staff.� This happens when, for a very short section, the basses have their own text.� Whenever I do this I can not stop Finale from creating a word extension following the last syllable of that phrase.� Finale thinks, because there are no lyrics attached to the next note, that I want the basses to sing a melisma.� That is not what I want.� I want the basses to rejoin the tenors and read the lyrics above their staff.�

The only way I have found to stop this is to turn off Smart Word Extensions.� This is, in all other respects, a great feature because it automatically creates word extensions which are the exact length and break at the end of systems.� I really don't want to turn it off.� I hate having to manually create word extensions.� But as soon as I turn it on I get a word extension at the end of the phrase mentioned above.� I tried entering an invisible syllable (alt+0160) but that makes no difference.� Is there a solution to this?

Thanks to anyone who can help!!!
