I don't have any scoops in the file I'm in right now so I just gave a single tremelo slash the approximate positioning of a scoop with the following (evpu) settings: 1) Center horizontally should be checked 2) Default vertical position = -22 Handle positioning 3) Main symbol - H: -58 4) Main symbol - V: -12 5) Flipped symbol - H: -58 6) Flipped symbol - V: -12 Start there with your scoop and it should get you in the ball park.  You can tweak it from there.  Just use positive "H" numbers for your fall. Don Hart Thanks Don, I used your numbers as a starting point and came up with pretty good default positioning for the Jazz Font scoop and fall that I am using.  The handle positioning  numbers were different, but starting with yours gave me a good understanding of what to enter to get the placement that I like. For the scoop, I have  H: - 40, V: - 28, and for the fall-off H: 52, and V: - 16 If others are using these symbols, this provides a default positioning that will require little tweaking in most cases. Thanks again, Don. Chuck Chuck Israels 230 North Garden Terrace Bellingham, WA 98225-5836 phone (360) 671-3402 fax (360) 676-6055 www.chuckisraels.com
