To me, the half moon shape indicates a "bend". The note is started on pitch, lipped flat, then back to pitch.

Mac OS Sonoma - problems using older fonts
I'm asking this for another and don't have all the information, but maybe some of the Gurus can suggest some troubleshooting steps. The music symbol font is very old and has worked on all OSX versions through Ventura, but Sonoma is a no-go. The usual kitchen utensil symbols in place of noteheads, re...

Re: Repeat for specific part
"Common practice" says that the layout for each part must match all the others. There must be a good reason for that approach.

I just saw an ad for a local car dealership. David Ward is seeing them in the UK. Seems fairly sophisticated and probably not likely to go away.

Re: Note mover tool
I would keep the 'A' on the treble staff, as long as there are 'Bbs' just a half step away. That's really an odd rhythm.

Re: Instrument list
Just thought I'd mention that hiding staves should be done only after fully completing a score and the layout is somewhat set. And then there is the question, is hiding staves really necessary? Don't hide staves simply because they're empty. A score should have some degree of uniformity to be easy t...

Re: Increase Highlight Color Intensity
Thanks. I played around with your suggestions and got even worse results. It seems that Finale is not "reading" the colors set in System Preferences. Maybe it's an expected limitation.

Is there any way to increase the highlight color intensity in the picker windows? (Make the blue bluer, easier to see)

Re: Barline behavior
Open up the Score Manager (Window Menu). At lower right, under Staff, change from Other to Standard 5 Line. Why this was made an "Other" staff I don't know. I'll leave that between you and the pastor.

How are you changing the Time Signature - with the TS Tool? There is another way - Selection Tool, right click where you want the new TS and select it from the popdown menu.

It's hard to judge without more music to provide context, but I would leave the G natural as is for ease of reading.

I'd suggest she purchase the latest version, which is Finale 27. She will be able to open the files made in Finale 2011 with little or no problem, and then save them in F27 format. It will be much easier to get tech support, if needed, for a current version. Suggest that she join this discussion gro...

Re: Tenuto with dot won't print right
I would suggest that you place the staccato dot in the staff and the tenuto above the staff, using 2 separate symbols. I think that placement is "standard practice". But only for pitches A, B and C. This might solve your problem in a roundabout way. And while you're at it, fine tune some of those ac...
