I think some people were confusing "custom (smart) line" with lines
created as shape expressions? (Or perhaps it was just me.)
Anyway, I know Settings Scrapbook can already transfer custom smart
shape definitions between documents, but it will still be nice to have
that functionality built directly into to Fin2k6, especially since
recent vintages of Finale allow an (effectively) unlimited number of
custom smart lines.

So what is custom line? (I thought it too meant custom smart shape.)

No. Smart line = custom smart shape.

Isn't "smart line" and "custom line" the same thing?
FWIW: My Settings Scrapbook plugin has been able to transfer custom
line libraries for a couple of years at least, in versions of Finale
all the way back to Fin2000.

I just looked a little more carefully at the 2006 enhancements and
found one thing that will be useful to me: Smart Line libraries.
For example, Bill Duncan has created some particularly useful Smart
Shape devices that include more elements than Finale has in its
libraries, like an 8va sign with the usual dashed line following
it
but with the addition of a clearly noticeable enclosed "loco"
included at the end of the stretchable smart line. ......
Chuck,
I think the Smart Line libraries will be helpful too, especially if
I
ever
get more organized along the lines of templates and a default file.
But
what I wanted to point out to you is that for the above example,
with
the
possible exception of the enclosure around "loco", the custom line
tool
would work quite well and is very flexible.
After looking at the smart line dialog box it appears enclosures
aren't
readily available, so maybe that was the point of touting Bill's
product. I
just wanted to make sure that you and others here were aware of the
custom
line tool and what it could do with the above example.
