Just been through the tutorial on this, but it only shows how to do this with the mouse. Is it possible to create a slur or hairpin using the keyboard? Sibelius has a great way by simply pressing S and then holding space or re-tapping it to make the slur go to the next note on and on. It would take me FOREVER to make hairpins and slurs in Finale if the only way is to use the mouse (particularly with all the double-clicking). And I already suffer from RSI in my finger from using computers so much ... is there a way to do this using the keyboard?
THANKS!
Possible to create slur/hairpin by using keyboard mostly?

Not as far as I know, but it's a great idea! I seem to recall some discussion on this in years past. Maybe it's time to submit it as a feature request (again?)

Really?
I can't believe this!
So many professionals use Finale, but it seems like such a TEDIOUS program to use! I don't understand how they can spend time as professional orchestrators, for example, and not end up with RSI. Crazy.
I'm working on a workflow now where I input in Sibelius - which is SO much faster in my opinion - and then format etc in Finale because some people seem so stuck on Finale as being the best program ever. Not sure why! :S
I will continue getting into it tho.
