I've pointed out what I think the mental analogy should be, as follows: 1st line of lyrics 2nd line of lyrics 3rd line of lyrics which is 1 2 3 and it seems there are some people who see this as the intuitive ordering: 3 2 1 It seems to me this must be like the left/right brained thing. Those of us seeing visual lists (1. 2. 3.) and those thinking of numbering logic (2 is 'higher' than one). >For instance, I have no problem imagining 2 as a higher number than 1, >so it's easy for me to click the up-arrow to raise the number from 1 to >2, and the down-arrow to lower it from 1 to 0. I don't have a problem with it, I just always click the wrong arrow once at the beginning of each edit (not using it everyday). I was just wondering if it's one of those things that no-one ever complained about because it's never the most pressing thing (always something bigger broken!). -- Simon Troup Digital Music Art _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [email protected] http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
