SMART SHAPES

* There needs to be a box as a smart shape on the palette.  Of course
this is currently possible with Shape Expressions but it's such a
commonly used feature these days.  Also the ability to have hairpins,
slurs or any other shape as programmable custom Smart Shapes (i.e. not
just lines as is currently the case) would be very helpful in cases such
as a crescendo sign with the word "molto" associated.

* The ability to allocate staff lists to Smart Shapes would be
fantastic.  For example, the flexibility of smart shapes is wonderful
with their resizing capabilities for items like |<---10"--->| markings.
 But having to copy them into each staff before part production is
tiresome.



Matthew,

Many good suggestions.  Some of what you suggest above is available through Bill Duncan's Finale Productivity package (no reason not to want it included natively in Finale) so, if you need these things before Finale implements them, check out <gwmp.com>.
