As a general rule, I think any poster to this list will get better responses by asking "Is there a way to do xyz?" rather than "How come it's impossible to do xyz?" The latter approach makes us feel that you don't really want help and just want to complain. It's also a curious pattern that the users who are quickest to complain about what Finale can't do are most often the ones who have done the least exploring in figuring out what it can do. I believe most Finale users who face the problem you describe address it by setting up two separate articulations, one for noteside and one for stemside. The dot doesn't "flip" as you recommend, but it's very simple to remove one articulation and replace it with the other. mdl _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
