Actually, no, Finale can't automatically determine the height of font characters. That's why we made FAN files in the first place. I don't disagree that the tool for editing can be improved, however. On Oct 30, 2008, at 2:29 AM, Johannes Gebauer wrote: Actually, I have never understood why Fi

I have been editing old files of Christmas carols for students to play.

Hi Richard Thanks for your fast reply. I'm now able to get the fingering symbols, but can't get the program to bypass the dialogue box, which sounds like it is possible in the manual.

Hi Allen, FAN files are definitely used with articulations! It's a recent change (Fin2006 maybe?) but they are now definitely part of the equation. As you will discover if you import an older file that uses articulations in fonts that do not have corresponding FANs. Cheers, - Darcy -
