Peter This is how I'd approach your situation.
I do concur with those who advise that this is a non-standard usage of word extensions, but I can also perceive that they may not, in fact, be extensions, but instead have another use. Therfore, first verify with your client exactly why she has the hand drawn lines in her MS. They may not be intended as word extensions, though word extensions might be a good way to achieve what she intends. > I know how to insert word extensions that cover two or more notes. How do > you insert one within the span of one note? 1. Select the measure tool, and add extra space to the measure. 2. Set the measure for "beat chart" spacing. 3. Use the word extension for the second extension (the one extending from "to" to just short of "e"[ternal]. You insert the word extension within the span of one note by selecting the handle on the word extension when you select "adjust word extensions" from the drop down menu. You can move the extension as far as you want, although in some earlier versions of Finale you had to kludge a new word extension in the beginning of each system. 4. Use a smart shape line to create the searlier extension in the bar. The reason for doing the second first is that you can use it to line up the first. ns _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [email protected] http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
