Hi Chris,

What I was suggesting was that you could artificially move the right boundary on the eighth rest character (and other flagged rest characters) "too far" to the left -- so that it falls in the middle of the rest, or even all the way to the left. This should theoretically affect the position of the dots. I'm in the middle of something else and can't try it now, but it's worth a shot.

Darcy,

I've tried it, but everything seems to be OK and nothing I do really does anything. I am assuming the 8th rest character is #228 and the dot is #46 (that's what is selected in the Doc Options>Augmentation Dots), and both have nice tight boundaries to the edges of the glyphs. The problem appears on all flagged rests (sixteenths, etc.)

Furthermore, when I open files created in EARLIER versions of Finale (before 2007) the dots are correct. Only in new files do the dots show up too far away.

There does not appear to be a setting to adjust the distance for augmentation dots on RESTS, only on notes. I assume that this setting applies to both, but is obviously too large for flagged rests.

If you could give this a quick try and report back, maybe you will have more luck than I have.

Hi Chris,

I haven't tried it, but I'm almost positive that you could fix this by adjusting the FAN for the eighth rest character in Jazz Font.

'd actually be happy if dotted eighth rests just worked properly. In the JazzFont the dots on flagged rests are too far to the right of the rest and have to be individually, manually adjusted. Grr.
