Thanks for the help on this issue without even looking at the source. I added measure checks for every measure until it cleaned up. As Trevor says there was a long measure that caused the problem and now I'm back to working on the music. I had one other email that also mentioned this as the likely source and grateful for the quick and accurate response the I got from the list. regards, JJ
