Short, as I'm on my way to leave for a few days. I make the rhythm staff a separate staff and don't use Finale's tab-rhythm feature (is it a bug or a feature?). Here's what I do: Add a staff above the tab-staff. Make Staff style that hides everything but the notes and the time signature. Apply that staff style to this staff. (Save the Staff style in a library for future use). See my Sheet Music page for a few examples in various states of development, I cannot seem to make my mind up about the details or (Suzanne only) see attached file. In the final page layout I set the rhythm staff to 70% and the tab staff to 120%, and I choose a bold italic font for the tab glyphs. In the rhythm staff, hide the notes you want to hide by using the 'o' function in speedy note entry. I'm sure there's things I'm forgetting here, but it's time to go. good luck, have a great end-of-year party and ask me more in three days time David -- ******************************* David van Ooijen davidvanooi...@gmail.com www.davidvanooijen.nl ******************************* -- To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
