Thanks so much, Christopher for the explanation - it's weird that they call "merging" "imploding"!! I would like to see a simple "Merge" option under the "Edit" menu so you can copy and paste without going through all that other stuff! Anyway - the 2 rhythms are identical, so it sounds like this option will work fine for me. It makes sense when you notice that there is an "explode" function for splitting chords into separate parts - the opposite would be Implode. TG Tools has a fantastically smart exploder - includes unisons, octaves, asks what note you want doubled when there aren't enough, strips out "I.", "II." "Solo" and the like. Too bad his tools don't have an equivalently intelligent Implode as well. Finale DOES have a "merge" - it's under the Note Mover Tool, but you can only do it up to a measure at at time. For more than that, you want Implode. Christopher ___ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale

BTW, I'm using Fin-Mac 2005b... Implode is what you want. You will have to create a new dummy staff which will be deleted afterward directly under the target staff. Let's call the earlier passage A and the later passage B. Copy A to the dummy staff so that it is aligned with B. Select B and the A directly underneath it with Mass Edit. Hit 1 (or select Implode from the menu). Delete the dummy staff. Done. Now, if the two passages have different rhythms and you need to preserve them in different layers, you proceed a little differently. You wouldn't even have to create a dummy staff, but change the lower passage (lets say A) to Layer 2. Select "Show active layer only" from the menu. Drag A and drop over where B is. Turn off Show Active Layer. Done. Christopher ___ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
