Hi,

1 simple feature is to write a chord chart, with no obligation in insert rests in every measure. How come Finale doesn't do this?

The new audio feature is cool, but se should be able to edit the audio track. Just the minimum, like cuttilg the wave and moving the wave in order to alignt it with the measures.

Actually this is not a big problem:

You can attach the chord symbols to rests in Layer 4.
These rests won't display if you use "Blank Notation" in Layer 4.

In 4/4 time you may only have to fill all measures with 2 half rests (or perhaps 4 quarter rests).
