Go into page view, turn on rulers, strike a guide, and snap the articulations to it. I actually made a library of fingerings as shape articulations, but that's not near as quick as what you want. On Jan 23, 2009, at 6:22 AM, Lawrence Yates wrote: I do it by entering the fingerings as

Darcy, Thanks for adding to the answer. That explains why I can't change all the part names to another font in one go. I had created my parts, then formatted and made a lot of changes (voiced linked parts, etc.) and changed my staff name font in the score, but couldn't find a way to

From your website it looks like you are fingering guitar music. If you want to place the fingering numbers to the left of noteheads easiest is to define the finger number as 'center horizontally' but set the handle's horizontal distance as about -10 EVPUs. Define the articulation with a metatool.

Hi Chris, I am confused. As far as I know, it is not possible for the same text block to have different font settings in parts vs. score when using linked parts. So you should have been able -- forced, really -- to change them all at once. Are you sure you did not, for example, have a

Hey Richard Yes, definitely guitar music. Thanks, I'll check it out your library file. Your music has always had a nice look, so maybe I should look at it as an engraver instead of as a guitarist! I've got some articulation fingerings already defined to automatically be placed in

A couple of years ago I made a concerted effort to try out Sibelius. I had a lot of input from the Sib listserv and Daniel Spreadbury (sp?). Turned out that neither the whiteout fingerings nor the auto placement of fingerings before noteheads was possible. Those were both deal busters for me.

Well. Assuming that an expression made using the tools that Finale provides could be considered to be unusual... Yeah, the advice is good. I find tempo marking are good candidates. As the playback hangs at 39%, check at around 39% of the way through the piece for expressions with tempo
