I print-screened the chord suffix selection pages and keep them at hand. I
have the most common ones memorized. If you load different chord libraries,
or delete chords, that will affect the numbering.

Because you need some way to organize the music into units. Music without time
signatures, or with extremely long measures (like, say, 11/2) is
extraordinarily difficult to read. So you pick the time signature that
organizes and communicates the music in the most legible way for the greatest

I understand your point. So I wonder, why use a time-signature at all if it
does not have any meaning!

In Finale 2011, when I enter 6/4 as 6 quarter notes and change to slash
notation, I get six slashes.

Hi Cortez,
My reasons are perfectly logical, as I explained, and are the best solution for
the musicians I work with.
In a contemporary context, people employ odd subdivisions of meters *all the
time* without changing time signatures.
4/4 is very often subdivided 3+3+2.
3/4 is very often sub
There is no logical reason to have 6/4 doing double duty; being both a duple
and triple meter is confusing. In the example you state I would have written 4
bars 4/4 and one 2/4. By your way I would always have to check where the beat
is in 6/4. What about 3/4 and 6/8?

That is the traditional view. My own view is that 6/4 with the half note
getting the beat is perfectly acceptable and logical in a modern context,
especially if you're dealing with a mix of, e.g., 4/4 and 6/4.
I have a piece where the time signature pattern is always 3 bars of 4/4
followed by
Three beats with a half note for the beat is 3/2, can never be 6/4

I would add that a better choice for a time signature in this case might be
3/2, rather than 6/4.
Perhaps William wants six slashes in 6/4? That can also be taken care of in
the Time Signature dialogue box.

William,
Your 6/4 must be defined as 2 dotted halfs. Change it with Time Sig tool
to 6 quarters.

Hi William,
It's not a bug. Traditionally, 6/4 is a compound meter -- two beats per
measure, dotted half note has the beat. That's why Finale shows only two
slashes (and will add dots if you have "add dots to slashes in compound meter
checked).
If you want your 6/4 to be three beats per measur
I have not seen this before. Have any of you?
When I have a measure of 6/4, and I use SLASH notation,
it puts only 2 slashes for a 6/4 measure.
Is there a way around this problem? I want to avoid a HAND edit.

Thanks Darcy! You and Chuck were the ones I had hoped to hear from about this.
Unfortunately, it looks like we're stuck. I had already taken all of the steps
you mentioned below. I had just hoped that I had missed a step in the process.
Bummer.
Thanks again to Doug for refreshing my memory abou
Thanks for the tip, Doug. I will definitely be using this until we (hopefully)
find a solution.
It makes no sense to me how creating it in the chord definition dialog box
garners the desired results but in other places there seems to be this
disconnect. Nick Carter even sent me an updated font
Hi Mike,
Adding Unicode support to Finale 2012 has, uh, "complicated" the use of Bill
Duncan's fonts, which have always been a bit buggy from a font-encoding
perspective.
First, quit Finale, then make sure all the Duncan fonts are listed in the
MacSymbolFonts.txt document -- located at ~/Libra
Hi Doug,
I do remember I used to do it this way, but it stopped working when I forgot
that I needed to include the colon. Thanks for the reminder. This can be
quicker if you memorize the slots for complex suffixes, so I will find this
useful for things like 7#5#9 too.
Thanks again,
Chuck
Hi Chuck and Mike,
While this won't solve the underlying issue you're both talking about, I
thought it would be worth mentioning another input method that can work in
these situations that doesn't require using the mouse (which you may already
know about). The drag is that is requires memorizin
I have a similar problem with sus4 suffixes. I assumed that it was because of
the special keystrokes required to create the superscript text, key
combinations I don't have reason to remember after having created the suffixes

Hello all,
I have encountered a problem with Bill Duncan's ChordSuf font- namely the
(addX) suffix (it is not recognized, even if it is already in my library when
"typing into score"). I can create it easily if I enter it manually (in the
chord definition dialog box) but if I "type into score"
