does anyone know of a music notation programme (preferably a free download!) in which the physical (rather than the musical)length of the bars can be kept the same and the number of bars on a line can be controlled. The reason for this is so that I can print off music with eg 4 bars to a line so that with a bit of luck repeated bars are directly under (or on top of) each other so making it easier for students to see the repeats. Also being able to generate fairly long bars allows for greater clarity and room for additional symbols etc without it loking too cluttered. The programe I am using at the moment
(Finale notepad) works well enough but seems to adjust bar length acording to how many notes in bar & as a result the number of bars per line varies all the time. Any ideas anybody - help!
cheers
