Thank you to Raymond for bringing this new Finale 26 Articulation feature to the attention of the group. I tinkered with it a little. To be clear, it only works with Finale 26 using the default file(s) shipped with Finale 26 as templates. You could however add equivalent articulation definitions to older files.
Unfortunately the feature has severe limitations that probably don't measure up to the Sibelius feature. Autopositioning does not take accidentals into account, so any parenthesized note with an accidental requires moving the articulation manually. Also, you will have to manually drag them if you are dealing with multiple notes in a chord. Finally, the parentheses do not scale with notehead reduction. In my opinion, Finale still has a long way to go on this.
