Scoop articulation...can't get placement
I'm trying to get the placement of a short scoop into a note but just can't get the placement right. The symbol looks OK on notes higher on the staff but with notes lower on the staff ... it's out of position. What I'm looking for is something like this (pic) Screen Shot 2024-05-04 at 7.27.31 PM.png...

I have deleted all Finale fonts and reinstalled the Font Pack ... still no change.

Fonts on different computer creating chaos?
I've been working on a project for a client. I needed to make some updates and opened my Finale file on my studio computer rather than my laptop. The layout/fonts/look is wonky. Is this a font issue? I have the same version of Finale on both computers. See photos of what it should look like vs what ...

Ah yes. That makes sense to me and it looks much cleaner than a bunch of grace notes.

Re: I need a horn players help
When I played the 16th's grace notes back in Finale ... it was sounding like it was too "timed" ... like it was playing back at a specific rhythmic value ... which I didn't/don't want. I just want them to be fast and sound like they're falling (or ripping/raising) to the desired note. That's why I u...

I need a horn players help
I'm doing an arrangement and have a question about notation. This passage (audio file linked below) ... what's the proper way to notate this? 3-4 grace notes before each note looks like overkill but is it correct? How do you tell the player to "run up/down to each note"? Pictured below is what I hav...

Re: MultiMeasure Rest Symbol Question
What?
It's not an actual rest but the graphic that is entered by Finale when you create a Multimeasure rest.

MultiMeasure Rest Symbol Question
I have a group consisting of 2 staves. The way the drummer reads it is the top staff is the first X of play through and the bottom staff is the second X of play through. The top staff needs to have the standard multi-measure rest symbol and the bottom staff measures within the multi-measure rest nee...

Re: Justified Lyric Spacing on Lyric Sheet?
Thank you.
I am using the template and the Staff Style "Lyrics and Chords only"
I'm having to use the NOTE POSITION TOOL to manually drag each eighth note to space evenly. I've got 8 songs to do!

Justified Lyric Spacing on Lyric Sheet?
I've got a client who wants the lyrics to look more "justified" ... meaning all the lines start at the same place on the left margin and end on the same place on the right margin. Is there a way to evenly space out the hidden eighth notes that my lyrics are attached to across the measure so that the...

Word/Lyric Chart in Finale
I've never had to do this in Finale ... is it possible to do a generic lyric chart? Lyrics with chords and fretboard above the lyric(s). If not, I'm assuming I can just make lyrics in a word processing application and then somehow export my chords (fretboard image as well) and place them above the p...

Re: Changing enharmonic Cb to B
In the world of being hired for jobs, I don't tell people how technically wrong their requests are. We're all aware of key signatures and music theory.
This is what they want. So I'm giving it to them.
