Re: can't add a tie

Make sure that both notes are in the same layer.

In Speedy Entry use T or =.

Re: O/T: Nom de plume for my Finale score

How about Song Grinski, which oddly enough is an anagram of Grossingink.

Oops, I just noticed that it was Hector Pascal who started this thread. In that case, I would go with this anagram:

Carol Hepcats.

Re: Measure over Measure

Ah, yes. Charles reminds me of one of the biggest drawbacks of the Ossia Tool -- that slurs in the origin measure don't get carried over to the target measure. If that doesn't make sense, then welcome to the Ossia Tool. I recall that when I did the project I described I would have to make a slur els...

Re: Measure over Measure

A few years back I helped my daughter-in-law with her dissertation which included many examples like the one you posted. I experimented with the various ways of handling the notation, which have all been mentioned here already, and surprised myself by eventually choosing the Dreaded Ossia Tool. I wo...

Re: Suggest Mac and Windows sections

Mike,

But to see the poster's signature you have to open the topic. I'm asking that the signature somehow be included in the list of topics.

Suggest Mac and Windows sections

On the old forum there were separate Mac and Windows sections. I know that some people thought the two sections should have been combined, which is what has been done here, but I often read a question only to get to the end of it and realize it is Windows-specific.
