Hi David, You do have to run the plug-in following part extraction, but it's still much more automated than editing all the staff name headers by hand. You need only run it once, and it will fill in the staff name headers for all open documents. - Darcy - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Brooklyn, NY On

Thanks you Christopher. My rationale is I have a two bar bolero rhythm going on and the melodic cue is merely to advise the drummer as to where he is up to- not for him to ever play the cue. Thanks for info! Cheers K in OZ Keith Helgesen. Director of Music, Canberra City Band.

Hi Hiro, Paul said he wanted Tiger (OS X 10.4). I understand your reasons for *not* wanting to install Tiger right away, but Paul said he wants it. And if you did want Tiger, it would be a bad idea to buy a new computer now instead of after Tiger is released, because you'll end up having to
