It's possible to write (and Playback) a Glissndo dowwards. I mean, soundind from the top note to the bass note.

I appreciate your help

I am not sure what you mean?!?

Do you perhaps mean an arpeggio?

Arpeggio:
Playing chord notes successively (instead of simultaneously)

Glissando:
A pitch slide

Both arpeggio and glissando are notated with a wavy line.
By The Way - the wavy line is also used for trills.

Arpeggio can be found in Articulations, and are constrained to vertical (drag to length.) Glissando is a smart shape, and you can control the angle.

I know that doesn't answer the question. I have seen arpeggio markings with arrows, but I don't know if Finale contains them, and if they play back correctly.

You are right, Peter. I didn't mean Glissando, but ARPEGGIO. Thank you.
I'm going to write this post again

Thank you, Mike. It's not Glissando, what I'm looking for, but ARPEGGIO with aroow downwards
