Re: Can I Add a Slur in A Part and See It In the Score?
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. I have noticed that to be transferred correctly to another file, the new category needs to be modified (even minimally) in one of his parameters (Text font, music font, number font). 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.

Re: noteheads in different layers
Another way : select layer 4, Document -> Show active layer only, then Utilities -> Change -> Noteheads.
In JW Change, you can also select "Custom Shape" and find a suitable notehead.

It is a staff style (Staff tool -> Apply Staff Style To -> Score and Parts -> Slash Notation) that you will apply to the partial region of the measure. The staff style being purely graphic, to hear the audio, you first need to copy the figure and paste it to the repeated spots. Then select the regio...

Re: Speedy Entry - MIDI Input Channel - Restrict to Ch. 1????
Have you tried Midi/Audio -> Device Setup -> Midi Thru -> instead of the usual "Smart" button, try Fixed Channel : 1. Not tested.
Otherwise, your midi interface maybe set to send on a unique channel temporarily.
