Brilliant! But unfortunately it means this old dog would have to learn new tricks. I currently use Finale 2005 -- own 2006 but hate it. I understand staff styles has greatly improved since -- so will save your solution for when I get a new computer and update Finale.

True, but here's a workaround I used when I was confronted with the situation you describe: 1) create the score, with the repeat bars (using the repeat tool) on the bar lines where I needed them; 2) in the "staff attributes" dialog for each staff containing offset repeats, uncheck the "repeat bars" attribute; 3) place the repeats-as-shape-expressions in the staves where you want them (note: if you've turned off repeat bars in staff attributes, you either have to place repeats-as-shape-espressions in the places where the repeat would line up with the repeat tool assigned elements, or you have to define a staff style which could be applied to in a situation where you wanted the repeat bars attribute turned off for only part of a staff. You still have to create a separate playback score. ns _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
