Howdy John,

"To sleep, perchance to dream..." ;)

1. You weren't dreaming - the cool little button is in the Staff Symbols/Meter tool palette, and has an 8th note= 1/4 note symbol in it.

2. You can add back the brace for the staves to get back the joining bar lines. (Staff symbols/Braces)

3. You can use Format/Retranscribe, and select to have the ornaments written as ornaments rather than written out (ie, check all the "Ornaments" boxes in the dialog).

ttfn,
Sherry
