Re: [Finale] Note expression feature request
Go ahead, and I may do that, too. I also miss this feature, especially as I have changed from articulation dynamics to expression dynamics, and most of the time they absolutely need to be note expressions, but still appear in several or all staves.

Re: [Finale] Note expression feature request
Strictly speaking, that's not true. As I demonstrated with my dynamic articulations library years ago you can use the shape designer to quite easily construct multi-character articulations. However, that doesn't mean that articulations are the solution, especially as normal dynamics don't play back properly when they are entered as artics.

Re: [Finale] Note expression feature request
Hi Don, This is the first thing I suggest to MacSupport when Finale 2004 first came out. I've been suggesting it regularly ever since. Maybe if more people write to Coda about it, we can get this feature added for Fin2006. - Darcy - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Brooklyn, NY On 29 Jan 2005, at 5:56 PM, Don Hart wrote: Maybe this has been suggested before, but if it has I've missed it.

Re: [Finale] Note expression feature request
Darcy, I shot the request off to Coda. Now that you mention it, I probably did see your post on the matter. However, it was back when my older machine had me stuck in 2002, so it didn't mean a lot to me at the time. This would be a significant improvement to the expression tool for me, for the way I work. I'd love to see it happen. Don Hart on 1/29/05 4:59 PM, Darcy James Argue at [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi Don, This is the first thing I suggest to MacSupport when Finale 2004 first came out.

I agree, particularly when I've had hundreds of 'sfz's to deal with (yeah, it was that kind of piece :p ) However, I feel that the whole implementation of expressions needs a complete overhaul, far more than the tinkering with definitions seen in recent versions. The caveat is that it's well down on my list of 'things that need sorting out', due to other things currently being in almost-unusable states (nonstandard key signatures, anyone?) ___ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
Re: [Finale] Note expression feature request
Don, You could add text expressions to the Articulation Window. Then you could enter them like articulations. You can even set up key velocities for them.
