Is there any way to get Finale's music spacing ("Apply Note Spacing")
routine to ignore barlines? What I need is for the barlines to still
print, but no extra horizontal space to be allotted for them.
Why would I make such a crazy request, you ask? I'm working on some
hymns. If you look at older, hand-engraved hymn books, most of them
employ this spacing technique. With several layers of lyrics, you
usually have to steal as much horizontal space as you can to get
everything to fit properly, so *not* leaving extra (wasted) space for
barlines is one way to accomplish this.
I've tried making the barlines invisible and re-spacing. This helps a
little, but not enough. If I could somehow take out the barlines,
respace, and put them back in (being careful not to re-re-space!) that
might be an option, but it seems like that might have other unintended
side effects.
Have any of you had to do this?
