128th notes not only exist conceptually and can be implemented in Finale (as I said in an earlier posts, up to 4096th notes are possible in Finale, with 10 beams, being a note of 1 EVPU in length), but I've encountered real music that used them. This piece by Emanuel Alois Förster has them in its slow movement (URL all on one line): http://www.dfenton.com/Midi/index.php?stem=Foerster10_1&last=44¤ t=20&mvt=2&display=Page That piece was published in 1796, and is not at all the only piece in which I've encountered 128th notes. That said, I've never ever encountered anything smaller! -- David W.
