Thanks, Randy... I had tried this and every permutation of holding down the option key too, and nothing made a difference. The option key WILL, in some cases (seems to matter where in relation to the staff you double-click) casue the ending hook to be upward instead of downward, but that's it. Nothing I've tried produces a downward hook at the beginning followed by a line (except one thing..see later).
As for what you suggested, dragging from left to right causes a line ending with a downward hook. Dragging from right to left only meant that a downward hook began the figure, followed by a line. In other words, the exact same thing, only starting at a different spot. Dragging the end point is something else I tried, but dragging an endpoint past the other only worked in one (weird) scenario: if the newley-dragged endpoint extended past the left edge of the stave, THEN it would result in a downward hook! I'm on FINMAC 2002b.
