Personally I would either put 8va sempre at the top of each page, or at each section or rehearsal mark. Either will obviate the problem to which you allude.

Rather than stretching an 8va smartshape out for that entire length, what do you think about just putting '8va sempre' at the beginning and then 'loco' when the passage is over? Or is there some other standard way of indicating a really long 8va passage? I understand that this could lead to confusion if rehearsal started in the middle of the passage, but since the parts are for my use only this might be a chance I'm willing to take. Thanks, Aaron. _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [email protected] http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [email protected] http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
