Chuck, [Sorry to have potentially sent this to you twice but I haven't received anything from the Finale mail list in almost 24 hours and did want at least for you to get my thank you.]
I'll have to try #1 out later as I've moved on to a chart that needs to swing with even eighths. :-) I'm not sure I see how to implement anything like what you're talking about in the staff styles dialog box for the answer to #2. Maybe someone else can help with that one?
