Re: [Finale] Endings in repeats - advice needed

2008-12-11 Thread Florence + Michael
Good repeats are nice simple ones that just repeat a whole passage, especially if they economise on pages turns. Bad repeats are those that say first time round jump to B, second time round play these 8 measures, then jump to D, third time round play everything up to E, then jump to Coda

Are you using Finale 2009? If that's the case, this is easy to do with the Expression Tool: Choose the Tempo Marks category and click on Create Tempo Mark. In the Expression Designer for tempo marks, you'll see insert note on a drop-down menu. Just choose the dotted quarter from the menu,
