You can do that, too, with a shape articulation (or expression). Shapes can include font characters. It's probably no more difficult than to create the shape in a font editor. Johannes Brad Beyenhof wrote: On Tue, 19 Oct 2004 20:24:35 +0200, Johannes wrote: I don't understand, why can you not us

If you need this in Finale, you could create these characters in the shape designer. Otherwise, unless you find a font with the characters, you need a font editor to create them, I guess. I have TypeTool from FontLab, and easy characters like this are no problem. Johannes Brad Beyenhof wrote: I
