In Finale 26 ( Windows 7), Under "Expressions," using the "create tempo mark" box, I am unable to create half-note = dotted whole note with the note heads and equal sign and dot aligned (vertically) properly. Moreover, I notice that the note = note examples included in the expression dialogue box

Oh sorry! I misread your question. To have accents appear always ABOVE notes, rather than automatic placement, you would have to edit the default placement. Get to the Edit Articulation window (select an articulation in your score and hit Enter) and for default placement select Above. Done.

Martin, That sounds really weird. I would write in to tech support, and include the file and a PDF that shows the problem. For entering accents, in the default file supplied with Finale, there is a metatool assigned to the accent. Hold down the A key while in the articulation tool, and every n

Select the period character. Change its font to the music font. I personally like to use text periods rather than music symbol, because the dot can be somewhat faint. Ryan > On Dec 12, 2018, at 5:17 PM, Dalvin Boone wrote: > > Finale 26, Windows 7. > > > > I have a score with a change from

Finale 26, Windows 7. I have a score with a change from 4/2 to 3/2, and I want to enter half-note = dotted whole note. I try to create the marking in the expressions dialogue box, but the list of notes to enter does not include any note value beyond the whole note. If I enter the whole note

I would never touch the Ossia tool. It is a holdover from an earlier version of the Matrix, and is very difficult to kill. A better way is to add another staff to your part, resize it if you want to, and use the Force Hide and Collapse staff style on it everywhere that you don’t need it. At thi
