Re: [Finale] Center justification for text expressions

2005-04-24 Thread Johannes Gebauer
Not sure I understand correctly. It is possible to center expressions between barlines and to make their allignment point center. However, it is not possible to create multi-line expressions where the lines are centered in relation. Is this what you want to do? Johannes Robert Patterson

I agree with Robert that you are asking the wrong list, however, why don't you just see for yourself? Go download the Fin2k5 demo and check whether it is too slow for your needs. Once you find problematic areas in 2k5, you may want to ask MakeMusic whether they can give you any information on
