Re: [Finale] Early report - Tiger & Finale

Ah well, not quite as convenient as it seemed at first sight. I did a trial run. It turns out the % tool doesn't affect notes within a beamed group. A lot of my examples are rolls, eg in 6/8 eighth-grace-eighth-grace-eighth; the % tool only works on the first note of the group, affecting the size o
