Well, it's the first time I use this forum, so I hope I don't do anything wrong. I use Finale already for some time.

I have a question about this subject.

Considering the tie adjustment to the notes, if I resize the staff, how can I ensure that ties proportionally maintain the distance from the notes and not the strict distance.

I think the images will explain what is the problem. I think that there'll be a solution for this problem, once I've already seen scores where that problem doesn't occur and people don't have to manually adjust the tie.

Have you tried either update layout, or redraw screen?

Interesting behavior. I've not really paid attention to that in the past. I wonder what setting, if any, can be changed to get the tie ends to be closer to the note heads when shrinking the staff percentage.

If you delete the tie and reapply it, is it then correct?

I'm certainly not suggesting that you should have to do it. It should be automatic. I'm just wondering.

Yes, it doesn't change and it doesn't solve the problem.

Yeah. I need to discover that. I think that it should have some way to do that, other than move the tie tips manually. I think that there'll be, because, I have some scores in PDF, that I think they are produced in Finale, and I think that there that detail is correct and I don't think that they correct that manually.

No, it remains the same thing, without adjusting to the size of all other elements.

I really don't know.
