Is there any way to globally adjust augmentation dots for eighth
rests? There's way too much space between the eighth rest and its
dot. The global dot adjustment only seems to work for notes, not
rests. I'm using FinWin 2009, although it's been happening since at
least 2008.
Thanks!

Let me guess, Jazz Font, right?
Yes, this is a bug, but strangely, it only happens in NEW documents.
If you open a 2007 doc in 2009, you can dot flagged rests
beautifully. It is only in NEW 2008 or 09 docs that this happens.
And no, you have to adjust each dot manually with the Special Tools
(though you can copy the dotted rests to other measures
successfully). And I think that if they fix this in 2010 that all
your old 2008 and 2009 docs are going to have the dots too close if
you had fixed them.
Complain loudly to MakeMusic about this. There is no excuse, except
that they don't care if nobody says anything.

(and I notice in 2009 that the Fill Measures with Rests feature in
Speedy stops working from time to time. Very bad for me, as I got in
the habit of arrowing over to the next bar if all that was left to
fill in was rests. Half of one score was missing rests before I
noticed! Quitting and restarting fixes it, but still...)
