Just to be clear, what I said was that some reference books advocate not using dotted rests in 6/8 (as opposed to other compound meters). See, e.g., Ross p. 179. I believe Read also agrees with Ross, although I have not looked at Read in a long time. What I have done in my own work is to make my rules for 6/8 consistent with the standard rules for 9/8 and 12/8 (as given in Ross p. 179). But I do make an exception in the case I showed, where the measure starts with a quarter and ends with an 8th. _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [email protected] http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
