Re: Graphically moving rests
I was imagining the Vertical Position, which can occur between layers.

Re: Graphically moving rests
Horizontally or vertically? Vertically, for me, is easiest done with the Simple Entry Tool and the up or down arrow keys. Horizontally with Special Tools/Note Position Tool by selecting the handle and nudging with an arrow key. It's probably vertically that you need.

Re: Ctrl+Enter "OK" shortcut not working on Windows/F26?
I don't believe Windows has a comparable shortcut. Mouse Click the OK button. Ctrl-Click activates all OK buttons on all open dialogue boxes. You might need to create a shortcut with TG Tools Keyboard Shortcuts, or use a third party program for keyboard shortcuts.

Re: Garritan won't play through midi keyboard
A keyboard can only play sounds that are resident in the keyboard. The Garritan sounds are not loaded into your keyboard. If you have a keyboard that allows the Garritan sounds to be loaded there, then you need to load them into the keyboard. However, from your description, I don't think your keyboa...

Question: In the "For Parts" Score, did you unlink the part in the Soprano Sax 2 part in the score Manager?

Maybe I didn't explain the Mac process well, so here's a quote from the Documentation.

Re: Preferences is missing "show measure number bar."
I have it in v25 and v26. I am on Windows 10. In page view, the option is greyed out. In Scroll View, it is accessible. Maybe your preferences need to be recreated.

Re: Sol-Fa Input plug-in
My take on the original post was striking the letter keys on the QWERTY keyboard. The Feature request is that there would be a plugin for this, and that D would be the Do of the given key one was in. That's how I read it.

Re: Handles not Showing in Special Tools Palette
If the notes are in one layer, and you have selected another layer, then handles won't show. I'm grabbing at straws here.
Also, what are the settings for handles in Preferences?

Re: Handles not Showing in Special Tools Palette
Aha! Why in the world is there an option to remove the handles, which renders the tools useless? From the Mac Documentation (since the OP uses Mac): Show Handles. Choose this command to display a small square handle on each note, stem, beam, tie, or dot (depending on which Special Tools tool icon y...

Re: Can't change instrument
HOWEVER... I deleted the tenor sax from the indented list under Soprano 2 and that worked! Even better, selecting the appropriate range and setting it to tenor also worked! I was going to mention that I also tried that method in the Score Manager. I'm glad our discourse lead to a solution. Zuill

If you need something different, you can create an expression to do it. Tedious, maybe, but at least you have an option.

Re: Can't change instrument
But what do you mean by the 'linked part'? The other soprano (doubling bass clarinet)? I don't quite follow what you're saying. Document/Edit Part should list all the linked parts. Parts need to be created first before you extract a part. All of your instruments are listed there. When all else fail...

That feature was not available in 2012. It was added in a later version. When I install a new version of Finale, that's one of the first things I uncheck.

Re: How can I do this? (Two note heads in one stem)
That tool is not for this kind of split. Finale doesn't have any built in options to do this type of "split" stem.

Re: How can I do this? (Two note heads in one stem)
I moved one of the noteheads to the right with Special Tools/Notehead Position Tool. I then dragged the Accidental to the right with the Accidental Mover Tool. Lastly, I added the extra stem with the Smart Shape Tool.

Don't know. I even tried (in v26) making the change in the linked part, as well as extracting the part and making the change in the extracted part. Both of those worked.
