Re: staccato font missing when I merge scores
There are SMuFL fonts (which generally have "Finale" in their names) and non-SMuFL fonts (which don't). They don't mix. If you're going to merge the two, you need to convert documents based on non-SMuFL fonts to SMuFL. "Document" menu, "Set Default Music Font."

Re: Loaded Libraries duplicate
They've only had 15 or 20 years to fix this. Give them time.
If Lua has a way to manipulate libraries, it would be a useful plug-in to fix this.

Re: Symbol Notation
Finale Maestro has several falls and one of them is in the default articulation library in slot 63.

Re: No Delete. No Ctrl Z. No Progress Bar
What do you mean by "progress bar"? If you mean the scrolling controls at the bottom of the window, that sounds like a Finale problem. Try going to Edit/Preferences and clicking Reset All Preferences at the bottom.

Re: Is this a bug? Spacebar+click to play
For me, spacebar+click begins playback at the beginning of the measure that the cursor is pointing to, no matter where on the page the measure is. What do you mean by "click on a barline laterally"?

Re: Tie to repetiition 2
Right. A "frame" is one measure on one staff, so you need to do it on each staff. And for the right hand, since there are two notes, after doing it for the first note, click Next note and check to box for that note, too.

Re: Tie to repetiition 2
Go to the Speedy Entry tool and Ctrl+click on the staff in the first measure of the second ending. It will pop up a dialog labelled "Edit Frame." Check the box labelled Tie End. This will give correct notation and playback.

Re: How to change the Simply Entry Tool default note value?
I think it's Option (or Alt) + QWERTY number, but just plain keypad number. I, too, get eighth note as default. On Windows, you can set up a Keyboard shortcut to start on a Whole note (shown below), but I guess the Mac version doesn't have anything similar. Perhaps FinaleScript? Or "Keyboard Maestro"?

Re: 1st and 2nd time bars in measure count
There's an old practice of not including the first ending when numbering measures. I'm not sure how that came about, but I think Elaine Gould's advice of numbering everything, as quoted by Peter above, is good, and that's what Finale does by default.

Re: Instrument change sometimes makes expressions and lines wig out
It looks like a bug having to do with going from a five-line staff to a one-line staff. It looks like if you use a five-line staff, apply your dynamics and hairpins, and only then change to one line, that will get around it and is probably preferable to copying from another staff.

Re: How do I use notes as text?
My complaint about Maestro Times is that it's very hard to find the symbols you want, since they're scattered far and wide with not much organization. So it's hunt and peck, and can be frustrating. It looks like the new Finale Maestro Text may be a little better, since Finale puts things in categori...

If playback is your concern, you can use JW Change to turn off playback on a note-by-note basis.

Re: How do I use notes as text?
There are various fonts that can do this. Probably the easiest is a shareware thing called Museglyphs.

You'd type ss = es3 to get this (it's documented):

Re: Hiding a staff within a part
There is a way, but it's arcane: 1) In Document Options/Multimeasure Rests, uncheck Update Automatically. 2) Go to the Guitar part, Selection tool. In page view, lock all systems. 3) Turn off the usage of the copy filter if on. Still in your Guitar part, go to scroll view, select the soprano measure...

Re: Hiding a staff within a part
Yes, I see that it's not creating multimeasure rests where there are notes in the hidden soprano staff. I'm not sure what you can do about that without extracting the part and deleting those soprano notes.

If you have "check for extra notes" selected as a Speedy entry option, just moving from one measure to the next will give you the option of pushing the extra notes to the next measure.

Re: Bug: Notes added when changing time signature
Not a "bug," I wouldn't say. When you change 4/4 to 3/4, the measure is then overstuffed with a fourth note; it looks like it's in the following measure, but it's not. You're right that it's odd, but I think Finale pretending it was still 4/4 as far as spacing goes wouldn't be right, either. If you'...
