Cadenza and cue notes sounds like the same thing to me, and I think any implementation must handle it. I'm not sure I see any issues with Tacet movements, assuming you add text blocks in the part view that aren't in the score. If you want nothing but the word TACET for the movement, you'd optimize out the system in the part that would have only the multi-measure rest and insert the text block. If you want the multi-measure rest to display, you'd not optimize it out, of course. What other methods for notating a Tacet movement would there be? So, to me, the only thing that's being asked for here is the ability to insert text blocks into a part that won't display in the score. > Divisi on 2 staves vs. 1? I think that's probably not going to be doable very easily. But, if dynamic parts are not implemented as all-or-nothing, such that you'd choose which parts you wanted to be dynamic, then you could still extract a part for the ones that need to be exploded from a single staff in the part to two separate parts. That would mean that you'd do that kind of thing exactly the same way in the new Finale as it's done today. All parts that don't need that, you could then use the dynamic parts. At least, that's the way *I'd* implement it! > Above all, as I've just remarked elsewhere: different Page Setup > settings? That's a no-brainer -- it would be completely useless without it. -- David W.
