NOTATIO

Having a thunderstorm right now. Need to shut down.

That's quite a story, David! Haven't had anything quite that dramatic happen, but we did lose the circuit board twice on the same TV due to thunderstorms. Came in through the cable connection even though the power was disconnected. So I also disconnect my computer from the ethernet internet connecti...

Thanks for the help, benwiggy and Neera, Sorry, I answered first over at the finale forum: "I have System Preferences>General>Close Windows when quitting an app unchecked, if that is the option you are referring to. When I shut down I check the box that says to reopen windows when logging back ...

Thank you so much for looking into that, Anders, and for your rest expressions. I do have Finale 27 unused, but I am transitioning out of Finale and still using Finale 25.5 only for projects that I am finishing up.

I really appreciate that, Anders. Thank you so much; it means a lot to me. I am trying to take the best of all eras rather than adhering to any particular convention while still avoiding anything that would create difficulties for a modern player.

I do see a whole rest that needs attention.

Because here they get the point across better than putting them below the staff?
