Actually, a frame is one *layer* of one bar of one staff. This is of course not relevant to your sensible fee scheme, but should be understood as a Finale technical matter.

That may be your definition (and it is one with which I concur), but that's not Finale's definition of a frame -- I just checked, entered notes in two different layers of a single measure, deleted all the empty measures so there was a single staff with one measure and notes in 2 layers.

By Andrew's definition that should be 2 frames, but Finale says it is 1 frame.

So if a person chooses to use Andrew's definition, which makes perfect sense to me, be aware that the File/FileInfo Statistics button won't give you an accurate frame count to use for billing purposes.

How odd. I based my assertion on the fact that you can't access multiple layers from within the Frame dialog--which by definition is devoted to the detailed editing of a single frame.
