Wow, Dean! That's a WAY better answer than mine would have been! Can you send some of whatever you're imbibing my way?
To Peter, most likely your client misunderstands the use of word extensions. They should only be used for non-hyphenated syllables under more than one notehead. You should correct that in your work for him. But if you HAD to, just click "Adjust Word Extensions" (this will be in a different place in 2011 than in previous versions) and handles will appear. Drag the handle to change the length. Hyphenated syllables will not have word extension handles, but you can add a Smart line manually. I don't recommend either solution, as it is incorrect notation and will just generate useless questions in rehearsal. Christopher ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dean M.
