I'm not using Fin2012 yet, on 2011 it was: - create second ending - insert note - in Windows, ctrl+ would make the backward slur but several times I experimented that this does not always work and I could not find the reason. I also tried to modify the slur through the Edit frame window but

That's a tie. For a slur, attach it as a Smart Shape as usual, then drag the right end backwards. In fact, I have sometimes used slurs when I couldn't get the backwards tie to work, because they look pretty much alike, depending on your settings. Apparently, the second-ending tie end is made

Hi Jef, Hrm… I tried this on a different installation and couldn't reproduce! So there is obviously something wonky about my current setup. Will need to investigate further… Cheers, - DJA - WEB: http://www.secretsocietymusic.org On Apr 9, 2014, at 5:06 AM, SN jef chippewa

Very useful Chris, thanks. On Windows it's Ctrl+= in Speedy for the second time ending backwards tie, and it only plays back properly when there is a final note in the bar *before* the first time ending - i.e. the note that ties to the second ending. Strangely it doesn't matter whether or not
