Hello, I have a question concerning expressions that are not predefined. Is there a complete list suggesting how to create them? In particular, I was now thinking of fp and sf. Do I have to create fp with f + p for example? And sf like a >?

Thank you.
John

Actually they are predefined.

You can find them in the Default Document (File menu > New > Default Document).

In my copy of Finale 2005, the fp is #11 in the Expression Selection (metatool letter key: F).
And the sf is #13 in the Expression Selection (metatool letter key: H).

Thanks for the useful tip. Yes, most of the expressions are predefined in the default document, except the expressions between #11 and 15. I guess I will only have to define these to have the whole array.

Look at the pdf files with the fonts (menu help/manual etc). there you can find fp and sf, you do not have to create them by yourself. fp is "Alt+0234" (on the numbers block), sf is "S". Easiest way: go to the expressions, duplicate one of them (e.g. f or p), edit this duplicated expression, highlight it and enter either "S" or Alt+0234.
