Re: [Finale] Fermattas in resting parts

If the consensus is that the dotted half + fermatta looks odd enough (or inelegant enough) to actually _throw_ people, then I'll use cue notes, as Bill suggested. I agree that a dotted half rest in 4/4 is not very usual, but I wouldn't say it was non-standard (I think you used that _expression_ earlier) and I certainly wouldn't call it wrong. Most importantly, I think it would be crystal-clear to the players. John
