Re: I’m flummoxed - can’t convince the coda mark to jump forward 3 measures
Your repeats should be reconfigured for correct playback. Look at Target and Jump. D.S... and Coda (send). 1.jpg 2.jpg P.S. : I would exclude measure 1 (pickup) from the numbering. If you change that, modify the measure numbers in the 2 windows (substract 1). P.S. 2 : how about a backward rep...

Copy a mesure that includes the symbol and paste it into your document, it will be added to the expressions of your file.

Re: Fix Polychord - superimposed chord notation
As Peter points out, this is not a Polychord, but a chord on top of a bass note. This is Herbie Hancock's Dolphin Dance, I assume. I would write Bb-7/Eb, with the alternate bass set to "As Subtext" (oblique line, but the bass note slightly below). A common practice. Bb-7/Eb (or Bbm7/Eb) makes more s...

Re: Recommendation for Chord Symbol Placement with Fermata
P.S. : for Eb/F, it is common practice to define the alternate bass "As Subtext".

Re: How do I use notes as text?
Expressions using the MaestroTimes font can do it, too.
Here are some common examples. Copy measure 6 and paste it into your document.

Re: multi-measure rest setting?
Assuming that you have created 2 additional measure regions (via Edit Measure Regions in the Measure tool), you may have forgotten to define the parameters of the parts in region II and III (via the Linked Parts thumbnail).

If you add a slur in a part, it will appear in the score, without any other instruction (no "Relink...").

Re: Library import/ export misses user-defined categories
As we know, a new category is created from a duplicate of an existing one.

If the parameters of the new category are ...

Re: overlap instability
A solution would be to swap the layers. I used the JW Staff Polyphony plug-in -> Layers -> Swap (1 & 2) and got the result shown in the first image (except for the red tie). This places the whole note to the left of the dotted quarter and leaves the dot visible. Just flip the tie in Layer 2. Other s...

Re: Can't get dynamic shortcuts to work on french laptop
You can also get an extended keyboard for the Mac (with numeric keypad) to plug into your laptop when you are at home.
P.S.: There are numeric keypad apps for the iPhone (Numpad has a special profile for Finale)

Re: Swapping parts
Undo functions for me. I have made the test in 26.3.1 and 27.4.1 (via the JW Tools menu) on my Mac, in the score (and as a result, in the parts).
Check your preferences and see if the Undo function is activated.
Otherwise, reapply "swap" on the same regions, and it will revert to the previous state.

Re: Repeat for specific part
You could use a staff style (part only) to hide the repeated sections, then add expressions to enter "graphical" repeats (part only). And another expression (part only) to indicate play X times. Still, there are a few problems : hidden measure numbers and rehearsal marks. You can also find a way to ...

Re: Lyrics: Delete red line
Something strange is happening here, but I was able to fix it.
Lyrics menu -> Edit Word Extensions selected.
Drag the handle on the right side of the red line to the right to extend it.
You will see 2 handles. Select the left one first and use Delete; then delete the right one.

Re: Change existing material from 4/4 to 6/8?
I would do in two steps :
1) convert the 4/4 into 12/8
2) change the 12/8 into 6/8.
For the first operation, the plug-in JW Meter and Rhythm would help.
