Hi Everyone, I am writing a big band chart. Finale 25 Ok I went to youtube, and followed Mark Wells directions for writing cues for the big band drummer over slash notation. It works great! However, I go to put in the word " fill" or I go to write in the dynamics where i put in slash notation and it won't show up. I've tried different layers etc. What do I do?

Edit the staff style (via Define Staff Style). In Alternate Notation, make sure that the Expressions box is checked.
