Hi Jef,
Weird, but as designed, I believe. I may be able to help you make some
sense of it.
The suggested implementation of v1/v2 is for the v2 note(s) not to be a
greater cumulative rhythmic value than the v1 note they are launched from.
The terminology from early documentation was (I believe)
to avoid snarling the procedure. GJB

I use probably voicees more than layers. They're great for partial
measures. I always put the larger note value in voice one and the smaller
values in voice two, so it's easy to come back and figure out which is

note and the
i remember hating using voices (as opposed to separate layers) but

some amazing advantage of using voices that i am simply not aware of?

hey robert, thanks.
1. splitting into 2 voices for just a beat or two. using voices
instead of layers allows me not to have to freeze stems, slurs,
ties, artic, etc. in other parts of the measure.

jef,
another reason for you in particular to use voices to the max is that v1/v2
share the same frame. i seem to recall you run out of frames.

Yes -- I'm one of the ones who also think that the use of layers is
recommended on this list way too often.
That said, any time there

But for the kinds of voices that come and go in keyboard music,
voices make much more sense and are far easier to work with.
I'm in complete agreement. Voices
Does anyone else use voices instead of layers in most single-bar

The advantages of voices over layers are:
1) common rests remain centered in the measure
2) independent rests can be placed on-the-fly depending on where the cursor
is when you launch the
One big disadvantage (for me, at least):
Display active layer only makes it very easy to copy material from
one layer only to another staff, etc. This is not possible when using
voices.
