| Posted By : Motet - 11/20/2016 2:35 AM | I seem to recall some way of finding measures that don't have enough beats. Does anyone know how? Or did I dream it?
I tried JW Validate but it seemed to hang.

Finale (started with ver. 3.0) using 2012 (2014 has been shelved for its lack of support for older Garritan libraries), putting Finale 25 through its paces.
Windows 8.1
basically ALL Garritan libraries, plus XSample Chamber Ensemble.

Yeah, that makes sense. I guess we should all be glad that real whole rests seem to work consistently in a wide variety of meters. I suspect that Sibelius and probably Dorico handle them in a different, more legit manner.

I use a measure-centred expression for fermatas on empty measures. But I guess in an ideal world, Finale would handle fermatas properly.

| Posted By : Motet - 11/21/2016 2:22 AM | I use the real whole rest because it automatically breaks a multimeasure rest before and after the measure with the rest. With an expression I couldn't figure out how to break afterward except by setting the measure attribute. I have a file that's a stack of fermatas that can be pasted in, so it's fairly easy to enter them.
