Hold down Alt-Ctrl and click on an expression, it shows the note
it's attached to.
How cool is that?
Not very cool. I almost never use it. I want to see what's hooked
to what,
not go clicking everywhere and guessing. When I move a note with
special
tools, I want to see what's attached first, not have to reprint a page
because something moved somewhere. I want a view that shows the
associations. Graphire had it since the beginning, and it was one
of the
features that made the program so easy to use.
Then attach them as measure espressions then they will stay in place
if you move the notes around. At least finale gives you the chance to
colour items so you can see what is what.
Sibelius has this lasso feature, little dotted lines everywhere -
each to their own, I think it just clutters up the screen, can't see
the wood for the trees.
What is interesting though is that you can see the little lines
stretching as you drag an exp. or text across the page and then when
they get to long... they jump over and attach to another note in the
next measure, which of course plays havoc in part layouts - call that
a feature?
