Hi John, This is a finger pressure of the left hand between normal and harmonic.It sounds different on its own, besides you can use as a transition between this two states. Also some techniques like "sub-harmonics" use it. Cheers 2008/7/23 John Howell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > At 12:03 AM +0100 7/

Hi List, I'm quite new to Finale and I had trouble with a couple of things here. - I also want to notate "half-harmonics" (a half fulled diamond note head) but I didn't find in any font or image. - I would like to have some arrows on the top of the staff for transitions from one thing to another.
