How can I forcibly enter a mid-measure courtesy clef change in 2008. In 2007 when you double-clicked a measure you got an option to create one, but I'm not seeing it in 2008. I need to restrike the same clef as is already in effect because when I put in a cue that changes the clef I like to

I've no idea what the context is - one of my students has asked me to help her identify it - her music teacher says it's not Dmaj7. Maybe it's the slash C# that's missing and the teacher is being pedantic. Thanks anyway. Any other offers would be welcome. Thanks, Lawrence

Apologies to all and thanks on behalf of my idiot, cloth eared student. Having spoken to her teacher, it now seems that the child (aged 18 years!!!) incorrectly identified the chord as a DOMINANT 7th then didn't listen to what her teacher said in reply. And they say standards aren't falling!

Yeah the 'popular' chord notation (anyone know where this came from originally?) ignores the key signature. 'm6' is short for minor 3rd, major 6th, probably just because this is far more common (i have a hard time hearing the minor 6th as a chord note in any context here, actually). You're

Yes, this is strange new (I think) behaviour in Finale 2009 (maybe even 2008). In Speedy, you have to hit the / key on the second grace note AND then on the second eighth note. If you hit it on the same note twice, it won't work no matter how many times you hit the slash key on the other
