There are probably better ways, but I did a lot of music with the incipit as system one, and the music starting in system two, which I dragged up to be beside the incipit. I get this very strange first chord if I play the file back - if I ever want to save a midi file, I will have to figure out how to make it not start on the first measure. I hadn't thought of using the ossia - next time I will try that. > > Unfortunately it is an incomplete incipit, because > it fails to > include the first note in each part, which gives > important > information not only about the transposition but > about the original > note values, also important information, especially > if the piece > breaks into triple time and you have to figure out > the original > proportion. > I also include the range when I do an incipit - it is especially useful to let me know if the altos will run into trouble. -- Io la Musica son, ch'ai dolci accenti So far tranquillo ogni turbato core, Et or di nobil ira et or d'amore Poss'infiammar le più gelate menti. _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [email protected] http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
