I'm working on a batch of lead sheets, and I'm running into some major annoyances about lyric spacing, word extensions, etc. 1. Why does Finale not recognize tied notes when avoiding lyric collisions? When I have an 8th note tied to another note, I get a big space between the 8th and the tied note. I don't want that. If I deselect avoid collisions of lyrics, then I get collisions everywhere else. There doesn't seem to be an option to ignore the first note of a group of tied notes. In fact, only the LAST note of a tied group should be recognized in regard to collisions. This is also a problem with chords. Try entering Bbm7(b5) over an 8th tied to another note. You get a BIG space between the two notes. Does ANYONE want this behavior? I seriously doubt it. 2. With smart extensions selected I'm having trouble with getting rid of extensions that I don't want, like when an instrumental section immediately follows a lyric, and there's no rest between the two. When I try to delete the unwanted extension, it just gets redrawn. Is this a bug in FinMac 2006, or am I doing something wrong?
