I quit using the ottava bassa sign (8vb) _under_ notes several years
ago when I read (in Read's book and probably on this list) that the
normal octave sign (8va) should be used. I noticed that FinMac08b uses
8vb by default when you use the Smart Shapes octave symbol (8va) below
notes. (I reset the 8vb symbol so that 8va shows in the Smart Shape
Options window.)
1. Do you think 8vb under notes looks amateurish?
2. Do you normally use 8va and its dashed bracket line in Smart
Shapes, or do you do it all manually with an Expression "8va" and then
the dashed bracket tool in Smart Shapes?
