this may be a stupid question but...if the tenors stay crossed over for more than a couple notes, is every notehead open?

Ok, there have been 146 downloads of the sample notation file (as of this post). Obviously, that means there are tons of people at least interested in what the sample notation file looks like, but hopefully you are interested in entering. So, lets get a general idea of how many participants we need to plan on:

two questions

can two people write a cadence together and put both their names on it?
Can the bass one do shots?

I don't have a circle notehead so is it alright if I use and open diamond for the crossovers?

K I may sound nub but...how do you get the basses to hit unison...when only using the middle bar? Every time I do it on finale 05...it puts a rim click. Thanks in advance.

does it still do a rim click when you change the notehead? You need to go in and check your soundfont settings and make sure everything is set right. To do this, you need to select the staff tool and then double click on the box next to the bass drum staff. This will bring up the staff attributes box. You need to hit the select button next to notation style. This brings up the percussion map selection box. Bass drum (5 drum) should be highlighted. Click edit and bring up the percussion map designer. There should be a selection called bass drum unison. You need to change the notehead to the one in the sample. Make sure the playback note is the correct one (39 in Finale 2007). This should solve your problem. Hope that helped.

I'm not arguing or anything but why does it have to be PDF? I lack that experience (and lack the knowledge of making them into mp3s)
