Yep, tried copying to a new file and the chord suffixes didn't translate. Looks like I'm gonna have to do it manually!

Hi folks!

Is there a way to change a score from regular style into handwritten/jazz style? Thanks!

ps. I'm using Finale 25.2 wiht a Mac running OS 10.10.3 (Yosemite)

Actually, Peter's method works perfectly. All I had to do was select the section I want to transpose instead of selecting the whole part. Problem solved!

One of the other issues here is that there several different keys in the part, so Peter's method doesn't really solve the problem. I need to be able to transpose specific sections.

Thanks! In this instance, the drummer:

a) is the band leader
b) is musically litterate
c) has perfect pitch
d) requested the chords

So I have no choice. Thanks for the suggestion! I'll try it and report the result.

Looking for the 4-bar repeat symbol in jazz or handwritten form, and I can't find it. Finale 25,2. Thanks!

Done! Thanks everyone!

I attached the file. Thanks!

Thanks Motet, excellent pun by the way! Your suggestion did not work, so tempo mark eh? Where would I find such a mark?

I have a score that plays back very slowly, and adjusting the tempo in the playback controls doesn't do anything. No matter what tempo I set, the score plays back at the same speed. I guess there is something overriding the tempo setting, but I have no idea what.

Done! Thanks for your help!

Thanks Peter, How would I draw the ellipse? Would you still use the articulation designer for that? I guess you'd need several different ellipses, since some chords have 3,4 or 5 notes. etc. And how do I save the articulation from your document as a library to import in my document? Will I loose oth...

Hi! I am writing guitar tabs, no notation staff above, just the tabs. I have the stems showing, offset from the notehead, everything is the way I want it except for one thing: how do I show the half-note and whole-note values? Right now, the stem for the half-note is no different than the one for th...
