[Finale] Violin fingerings

2011-02-25 Thread Pierre Bailleul
Hi all, Do you know the exact placement of single note fingerings: always placed above the notes or depending stems direction (like articulations)? In case of up stems tuplet, is it allowed to place fingerings : - below the notes; - above the notes with tuplet number and bracket below?

Ambience Reverb is quite good, it's just that Finale's default settings are all messed up -- they are set to 100% wet, 0% dry. They should default to something closer to 100% dry, 20-30% wet. This setting is saved with the document in Fin2011 (though you do have to set it once in every new
