Finale Forum

Mike, thanks again for offering your assistance. It was user error. I think I was using the Selection tool alone, without clicking on Simple Note Entry icon first.

I'm new to Finale SongWriter, in fact, I'm evaluating SongWriter and MuseScore. What really drew me to SongWriter was its ability to diagram chords on the fretboard. Which leads to the following Tip.

Thanks, Peter! I'm using Windows 7 Professional Edition.

I tried both CTRL and ALT and I couldn't get either to work.

I ended up right clicking on the chord of stacked notes, selecting Clear All, and re-entered the stacked notes.

I spent time in the tutorial learning how to enter stacked notes on the staff, but I can't figure out how to edit them. i.e. change pitch of 1 note or remove 1 note. When I click on a note the entire stack of notes is selected. I can never seem to select just 1 note in the stack. Please help. Thanks!
