Yes, but what if there are no beams (a half note and a quarter note, for example)? Also, Finale might make it difficult to ensure correct beaming, since it will alternate its default beaming between 6/8 and 3/4 in each subsequent measure. That's what "adding" timesigs together is supposed to denote. -- Brad Beyenhof Real-time Finale discussion: http://www.finaleirc.com my blog: http://augmentedfourth.blogspot.com Silence will save me from being wrong (and foolish), but it will also deprive me of the possibility of being right. ~ Igor Stravinsky _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [email protected] http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
