Re: Assigning lyrics
Are you acquainted with Jucio Brennen’s Lyric Hyphenator? https://juiciobrennan.com/hyphenator/ I tried this. It worked on one thing, crashed on another. This one line makes it crash. How reliable is it? It's you. How nice to see you. Now get out. Maybe because there’s nothing that needs hyphenatio...

Re: Assigning lyrics
There are a lot of things that don’t work the way they should. Unfortunately they are unable (or unwilling) to fix them. This is just another one of many.

Re: Assigning lyrics
If you have a slur over a number of notes (melisma), you may use Shift lyrics. There are a few simple options, but what I think you'd need in this case is Shift lyrics to the right, and Shift syllables by one note to the end of the lyric. That's how I do it. Sometimes, you go too far by mistake, an...

Re: Assigning lyrics
Right. When you click the lyrics in one by one, you skip the slurs and put the next lyric where it belongs. Unfortunately, that doesn’t happen with flowing them in.

Re: Assigning lyrics
Exactly as Anders says. On a Mac, opt-click flows the lyrics in, but I guess it’s different on Windows. Ties will be skipped automatically, and use Shift Lyrics to go over slurs.

Drone
I have a piece that's written as chant, with time signatures jumping around: 14/4, 3/4, 9/4, 3/4, jumble around, rinse and repeat. This is no problem, I have the SATB parts entered. However, there is a bass drone under the entire piece. I figured I'd use the organ for sound, but is there a way to se...

Re: Can we write text on top of a placed image?
You might be better off doing that in the PDF stage (assuming you save your docs as PDFs before distributing.) I know that requests to move image elements back or forward has been requested for at least a decade.
Or do your image in a program that allows it, and place it as a combined graphic.

Please look at the attached. I can't get the KS to show in the lower four staves. It came in from a scan.I have checked the original in SmartScore, and the KSs are there. They all show that the KS should appear in both the staff properties and measure properties. I have exported and reimported, with...

Enter and hide the original expressions. Use text expressions for the Grainger stylings.

JW Change Pitches is not in the Finale bundle, and when I tried to load it, I got the message that it wasn't approved.
Does anyone have a useful replacement?

Something is amiss. I would suggest uninstalling the program, and downloading a fresh installer.

Re: zero beaming
Set up your time signature as straight sixteenths. For example, if your piece is in 4/4, set the time signature as 16, sixteenths, to display as 4/4.
However, that is an older convention. It's more usual to beam to the time signature.

You might try turning off Automatic Update, as well.

Thanks, Motet. That looks like it’s only available in a 64-bit beta, and says for F25.
Has anyone used it in 27? I can’t test it myself, because I’m on a Mac.

Re: I need midi keyboard for Finale
It's not as simple as that, unfortunately. From what you describe, you're hoping to sit down, play the piano, and have it notated. Using Hyperscribe requires very robotic playing, and really is not for beginners.
I would start by learning Finale, either Simple or Speedy entry.
