Although I’ve never used it, I think that’s what Finale means by “Time Signature Spacing”.
You should be able to accomplish the same thing with the right settings under Music Spacing Options. I’m in an older version of Finale, but for me that’s under Preferences > Document Options > Music Spacing. Go there and turn off all the options, then click Spacing Widths and set the Scaling Factor to 2. My understanding of Scaling Factor is that 1 equals all notes the same spacing regardless of duration, and 2 equals all notes exactly proportional to note duration. Numbers in between are a compromise between the two. (Finale’s default sets this compromise at 1.618, which is about the right balance and coincidentally happens to be Fibonacci’s “golden ratio” allowing them to advertise their “Fibonacci spacing”.) The idea here is that you want a Scaling Factor of 2 for your basic spacing and then you need to also turn off anything else that will make additional unwanted adjustments to spacing. mdl > On Aug 27, 2016, at 9:33 PM, Vincent Giles <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hey! > > I want to know if it is possible to do time-scaled and > visually-proportional notation.
