adding an arbitrary duplicate slur

I want to add an arbitrary duplicate slur to a score in Finale 26 for Windows. Finale knows each voice needs only one slur at a time, but I want to add an arbitrary second slur to a voice anyway.

Non-global beaming over rests in Finale 26

For the system as a whole 6/8 is the best meter to keep players comfortable, but for one stave I want the beam over a 16th rest to...

how to have different voices have stems go in opposite direc

When I add a second voice to a stave, Finale guesses that voice has a lower range than the first voice and changes all the stem directions in the first voice. That guess happens to be wrong in the passage I am writing. So to change stem directions, I select the first voice, highlight the area concer...

The General folder installed from my Finale DVD has only Lead Sheet, Lead Sheet (Jazz Font), Lyrics and Chords, and Rhythm Section Generator. Do you have to pay for an upgraded Final...
