Rudi, after writing and sending that I pondered on how it might sound if the tick mark had an audio playback effect in HP, a kind of sharp intake of breath, whooshing sound. After all, the strings and guitar players have their "special effects". I wonder how the small circle for the oboists might sound. :) _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [email protected] http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
