Well, I am totally confused by the character viewer in Mac OSX. I use
the opt- and opt-shift characters I learned long ago (OS6 or so) and
that's as far as I get, still using the old PostScript Type 2 fonts
where I have them, but gradually moving towards TrueType and the OSX
pre-installed versi
I did a test. The punctuation called "hyphen" in the Character Viewer is higher
than the the hyphen Finale uses in the Lyric Tool. The punctuation called
"non-breaking hyphen" is exactly the same character as the "hyphen" in
Character Viewer, with the same positioning.
Finale apparently uses a
It looks like a simple en-dash to me. (I took it as an instruction to
type an en-dash for someone who might not know what an en-dash is).

I would probably just enter a regular hyphen in a measure attached text box.
It'll always move with the layout, but you might have to adjust.

In the Text menu when you are typing lyrics, there is a command "insert hard
hyphen" for which the keystroke is opt-hyphen. It is the same length as a
hyphen (which beats the last opt-hyphen which was an en-dash, not an em-dash),
but seems to be set a trifle higher in Times New Roman.

I never learned what Unicode is. Does the fact that it is supported mean that
there is indeed a "hard" hyphen keystroke somewhere that looks better than the
em dash (which looks to me better than nothing)? I will do some research when
I return from dinner. This must be on the web somewhere but
Unicode is supported, i think since 2012. not sure.

Thanks, Chuck.
I don't do much engraving these days (or much music at all, really), but I've
stayed subscribed to the list and I still skim the subject lines as they flow

I've been out of the loop for a while. Can Finale handle Unicode in lyrics
yet? If not, then it's a good thing you're not picky, because Mac doesn't have
a non-breaking hyphen like Windows does. So if you ca
I'm not so picky. Opt-hyphen seems to look good to my eye, at least on the
screen.
Grateful for all the help.

There is a difference. Opt-hyphen gives an n-dash, depending on the font
this may be longer, sometimes thinner, but not the same as a regular
hyphen. Sometimes I prefer to add the hyphen graphically, as an
expression or articulation. But of course, then you have to keep track
of it if the layou
Thank you, Dennis and Don.

Hi Chuck,
An option-hyphen should do the trick. Winds up being two different words,
I guess, as Finale sees it. I think that will work for you.

Ah - that's PC. There must be a corresponding Mac keystroke.

Does anyone know how to force a hyphen to show when the word is divided between
endings? The word in the second verse starts before the second ending and ends
in the second ending (but the baseline for the continuation is the same as for
the first verse - no reason for it to be lower, as it is
