There is some tradition for both, but (a) is more common in every era and near-universal now. All the software packages have supported (a) and failed to implement (b), and that has probably contributed to making (a) even more standard than it was. Excluding handwritten scores, I don't think I've seen (b) in anything published in the last 50 years at least. I have a client who prefers (b) and always hand-writes that way. I rather like it, too. But neither of us prefers it so much as to go to the trouble of kludging it every time. mdl _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [email protected] http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
