Has anyone found any sort of global solution to the annoying habit of Finale to make a single measure on a line that also includes a multimeasure rest WAY too wide?
Simplest example: first bar on the line (4/4) has, say, a quarter note on the downbeat followed by rests, then the next bar is a multimeasure rest of, say, 3 bars, although the number doesn’t seem to matter. Could be 2 or 20. Finale makes the bar with the note in it take up fully HALF the width of the line. I can grab the handle in the measure tool and drag the right barline to the left, but when I respace music (even with Incorporate Manual Positioning selected), it reverts to being too wide, although not *quite* as wide as it was. And of course if I specify a fixed measure width for that bar, it affects every part and the score, which isn’t what I want. I spoke with tech support years ago about this and they had no solution, but I’m hoping there’s a trick or workaround - or plug-in - that might address this now.
