I'm not sure that most people even know that Finale installs a bunch of fonts other than Maestro and Jazz....and the new Broadway font. Is there a section in the online manual about the additional fonts? Or a list of characters and the key combos to get them out?
I don't think so. I'd have to boot up the music computer to check. But if there is no mention of Toccatta or other fonts and the extra characters someone might suggest to MakeMusic to put it in the manual. But I don't think Toccatta was really part of Finale, I thought that was a shareware thing by Blake Hodgetts. http://www.efn.org/~bch/AboutFonts.html Though maybe MakeMusic is including the font now with Finale........I don't know. But it is good to know that this character exists in a font. On Wed, Sep 9, 2009 at 4:46 PM, David W.
