[Finale] easier, faster input of various notes over repeated rhythmic pattern -- any suggestions?

2007-08-15 Thread MB
I've had this problem a lot. You can grab as many measures as you want, then go to Mass Edit, Note Spacing, and choose whichever spacing you like. I've had to do this so many times that I finally made a kind of macro using TG Tools' menu shortcuts. That too will save you lots of headaches.

I suggest you add a measure to the front of your file first (not necessary, but a kind of failsafe place holder), then make sure you are copying the entire stack of measures you want to insert. If you copy just some of the notes or some of the systems or don't grab entire measures, you won't get
