[Finale] re: articulation positioning problems

2003-06-28 Thread DeliusFan
I'm sorry if I wasn't clear in my last post; I don't think there is, however, a way to do what I am wanting under the current program: The articulation designer dialogue box (which pops up as an option off the right-click menu) the position drop down menu effects all articulations of that type on
