Re: [Finale] expressions
In Finale 26 ( Windows 7), Under "Expressions," using the "create tempo mark" box, I am unable to create half-note = dotted whole note with the note heads and equal sign and dot aligned (vertically) properly. Moreover, I notice that the note = note examples included in the expression dialogue box don't look right, either. Can someone tell me what I am missing?

Change its font to the music font. I personally like to use text periods rather than music symbol, because the dot can be somewhat faint.

Re: [Finale] Positions of accents
Oh sorry! I misread your question. To have accents appear always ABOVE notes, rather than automatic placement, you would have to edit the default placement. Get to the Edit Articulation window (select an articulation in your score and hit Enter) and for default placement select Above. Done. If you only want this on some accents, not all of them, then duplicate the existing accent and change its default placement. Then use that one when you want it above, and the supplied accent when you want it placed using the default placement. I’m not sure why you want to do this, as the Finale default has the accents defined to be right in most cases. Files from old versions may not be as sophisticated. If you have already manually moved accents, you will probably want to clear all their manual edits. This can be done in Utilities>Change>Articulations, the default is add zero to the default placement, which will make everything position according to its definition.

Re: [Finale] Positions of accents
Martin, That sounds really weird. I would write in to tech support, and include the file and a PDF that shows the problem. For entering accents, in the default file supplied with Finale, there is a metatool assigned to the accent. Hold down the A key while in the articulation tool, and every note you click will get an accent. Or drag across a whole passage while holding down the A, and every note inside the dragged area will get an accent. S is staccato. V is marcato. There are others.

[Finale] expressions
Finale 26, Windows 7. I have a score with a change from 4/2 to 3/2, and I want to enter half-note = dotted whole note. I try to create the marking in the expressions dialogue box, but the list of notes to enter does not include any note value beyond the whole note. If I enter the whole note and type "period" for the dot, I get a period (instead of a dot). How can I get a dotted whole note in the expression dialogue box?

[Finale] OSSIA BARS
Fin26. Win10. In a string quartet there are occasional two and three bar segments with both left hand pizz. and arco stuff mixed together and written with stems up and down – rather difficult to read. I have tried to separate the two, placing the pizz. layer into the ossia bars. It copies everything from the “source” bar. Is it possible to have different materials in the ossia bar? Also, is it possible to create 2 and 3-bar long ossias? Is there a better way to accomplish this? Thank you for your help!
