G'day Barbara,

Thanks for the further tip. I will try that out when I next download a tune. I got into MusicTime because it was a fairly cheap program that laid out music pretty much the way I would write it. It has quirks ... but what doesn't?

I should, by national habit, use the English style and call the notes quavers, and I have to think in such terms in company of more classically educated musicians but I find it a lot more logical to think in fractional terms; ie quarter notes, whole notes. &c when laying out for publication. of course, these days the computer application looks after most of this for me!

Regards,

Bob Bolton
