Thanks Aaron for your enlightenments.
About the time signature, it's working for 2/4. But I forgot something in my
last mail : I want the time sig 2/4, 3/4, 4/4, 5/4 to display as 2, 3, 4, 5
verticaly adjust on the bottom of the staff, like the other time sig set in
document option / time sig?

Why does a hidden rest in layer 2 no longer force the stems in layer 1

This is not consistent behavior, some files have been OK - which

Hi Chuck,
You must remember to always copy your FAN files for any custom fonts
you use to your Fin2008 FAN folder. Hold down option when dragging to
make a copy instead of moving (so that your old FAN files will remain
in place.)
Also, don't overwrite any of the MM-supplied FAN files

Aha, Darcy was right. (Why am I not surprised?)
I copied in FAN files for the Bill Duncan fonts, and everything fell
into place. What had confused me was the fact that there were normal

correctly (along with the BD
Hi Darcy,
This affects Maestro expressions too, so I don't know - but I'll do
what you suggest, because it makes perfect sense for the BD fonts.

the 25th - with Don Friedman and Joe Hunt, and then recording with
them in
