Hello again,

I have several pieces which start with a single note in the first measure of the piece. Finale always wants to put a rest in to finish up the count in the measure. Is there a way to turn off this function? I have searched the PDF for beats per measure, ignore beats, and whatever else I could, but still could not find the solution.

Thanks in advance

Jim Mol

Jim,
what you are looking for is an upbeat. Maybe you will find the solution with the manual now!
Sorry, I am in a hurry now.
Peter

Gosh, doesn't anybody use the Visual Index any more? You want to read up on Pickup Measures.

Thanks for the information. Part of the problem is that I was thrown into using Finale, months sooner than I planned. So I am not up on it. The second part is that I am not a professional music person. I have had some theory, but that was years ago. So forgive me if I seem lost; I am. I am happy to take time to look for something, but have to balance time looking with working. So be assured that I will not ask unless I have first looked, and will look again if you can point me in the right direction.

Thanks again
Jim
