Here's what you need to change: 1. for the Flipped symbol, choose character 39. For the main symbol, 174. 2. for Symbol Options, choose FLIPPED SYMBOL for BELOW A NOTE. 3. for positioning: x Avoid Staff Lines x Center Horizontally 4. for Position, NOTE SIDE 5. for default vertical position, .0486. 6. for HANDLE POSITIONING, for FLIPPED VERTICAL position, -0.4861. 7. and, of course, define your playback. I'm rather puzzled why you didn't simply use a copy of the existing stroke (in position 2 in the articulation dialog) and change the characters, then adjust the spacing. -- David W.
