Thank you very much indeed, miker,
I've got it.

The the route is:

1) Write "I" in the space between the 2 letters to undertie

2) Select "I" (in either the score, or the Lyrics window)

3) Text menu/Font/Engraver Font Set/Click

Thank you very much, miker,
I see the undertie on your file, but I don't get the route to import that symbol on my file.
Could you explain further, please?

Thank you, Peter.
I edited my post just now to explain better

I'd like to undertie 2 syllables en m. 2 : "na" & "y"

I'm doing:

Text menu/Insert symbol/275

but the result is not an undertie, but an under hyphen



I appreciate your answers

Thank you very much, Peter, bill and motet.

My case was the one mentioned by Peter

Then the route is:

1) Time Signature Tool.
2) Double-click the the pickup measure
3) Set the measure range to: Measure # Through #
4) Set the Number of Beats to 2
5) Now the first measure is a 2/4 measure.

I cannot delete the pick-up


I appreciate your help

Thank you very much again, Peter,

Maybe ASSIGN dropdown menu in the Expression Selection dialog box is not possible for Tempo alterations.
In any case it works now all right with dynamics when I did as you told me.

Then the route is:

Edit menu/Preferences/Reset all Preferences

Peter, 1) I happens in ALL documents 2) "I suppose that you are talking about a button in a dialog box, with the text ‘OK’ on the button - right?" RIGHT 3) "Where in the Expression Tool is that choice “to assign to other staves” not appearing ?" in dynamics, tempo alterations,... For instance with "...

Expression tool: OK doesn't appear & doesn't appear choice to assign to other staves

I appreciate your help and time

Thank you very much, Peter

In measures 12-14 I cannot write enharmonic chords.
For instance, I'd like to write Gb chord as enharmonic of Ab.

I appreciate your help and time

Is there a way measure numbers can move automatically to not been overwritten by chords or expressions?

Thank you for the information, buon tempi

Yes, motet,
originally I use the Garritan sounds in the files.
Then I send the files to a person who correct them in a Fínale printmusic 2014 and uses SoftSynth sounds
He then sends me back the files and I convert them in Garritan sounds again

Thank you for your observations, oldmkvi and Peter
I am writing that instrument just to have an idea oftthe sound of the piece, that I'm intended to be sung by Soprano, Alto, Tenor and Bass.
The sound of virtual voices does't convince me at all and I prefere the one of those instruments

Thank you very much, oldmkvi,
I repeated here my post. I'm going to delete this one ansd keep the one in GENERAL HELP

Thank you very much, motet and Peter.
Very clear

I'd like to change the cleft for Sax voice, from G to F
