Re: Non-printing notes
Hello Timothy, Thanks for the info. This version of Finale is old, and it does print the note heads, ignoring the print-object attribute. I’ll complement xml2ly to hide the note head in this case. A nice day!

This is especially useful for notes that overlap in different voices, or for chord sheets that contain lyrics and chords but no melody. If print-object is set to no, this attribute is also interpreted as being set to no if not present. print-leger Indicates whether leger lines are printed. Notes without leger lines are used to indicate indeterminate high and low notes. It is yes if not present unless print-object is set to no. This attribute is ignored for rests. print-lyric yes-no No Controls the printing of a lyric separately from the rest of the note or rest. This is especially useful for notes that overlap in different voices, or for chord sheets that contain lyrics and chords but no melody. If print-object is set to no, this attribute is also interpreted as being set to no if not present. print-object Specifies whether or not to print an object. It is yes if not specified. print-spacing Controls whether or not spacing is left for an invisible note or object. It is used only if no note, dot, or lyric is being printed. The value is yes (leave spacing) if not specified.
