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'm trying to remember if i have seen it since
moving to 2014.5, but certainly nowhere as often
as in earlier versions. the finger "gliss" trick
worked each time for me - sometimes i did LH+RH
4-3-2-1- repeatedly, just for a little variation
on the technique :-).
now thinking about this
I think the f key (my metatool for forte) was stuck. :( Everything is
fine again. Pfff...

This has been a known bug in Finale for years, and I have been bitching about
it at least that long. Somehow, meta tool settings or something gets munged
and no matter what expression you try to enter, you always get the same one.
For me, it’s the last expression I entered, whatever it was.
Suddenly, double-clicking above the staff to add a tempo mark results in
the placement of a forte sign. Why doesn't this work anymore???

Hello everyone,
whenever i need to use a 1 line staff for the percussion i can't properly

Any ideas ?
Thanks in
in my experience, clicking directly on the note position right on the
staffline works for expressions. for smart shapes, place the cursor
directly over the VERY middle before 2-click-dragging (hairpins, for
example).
if you mean previous on the same instrument (not adjacent staff),
there
Some more info :
To attach an articulation the cursor has to be exactly on the staff line
the same occur for a crescendo but as i move it and press alt to check
where it is attached
it shows that it is attached to the preceding 5 line staff measure. !

if you foresee how the parts will look you can place the extra

appear only in the SC; then set the one in the last measure to only

Dear Steve and Don,
Thank you for the tips--that was the ticket! It is certainly preferable
to have a score that looks right and sounds wrong, if that choice needs
to be made. I should have prefaced this by saying that I am compiling a
score from a set of transposed parts. That may or may not
Unfortunately, that great solution is gone in 2012. While playback of
instrument changes is much easier now, the actual act of entering of them into
the score takes three times the mouse clicks and you can't see the results.

The menu setting has applied only to Metatools since it existed, that
is to say since Finale 2000. In earlier versions, there were separate
tools for Score Expressions and Staff Expressions, which were
combined into one tool in Finale 2000: Score Expressions became

In fact, context-sensitive expression attachment has always worked
