You could add the second set of chords on a second line an add an expression "2nd x".
To obtain more chords than beats in a measure, create them in an another measure and drag them into position into the second line of your measure.

OK, I don't know how to do this. How to open the second line?

I need to input a different set of chord symbols on second repeat. The chords would appear in two layers, similar to the appearance of the words when having multiple stanzas. It must be simple but can't figure it out.

I am using the latest Finale for Windows.

Thanks, Igor

I am currently using the latest Finale edition, but I opened a piece created in older version. To my surprise, Pizz. and Arco technique marks do not affect the playback. More specifically, the cello starts with pizz. ignoring the consequent arco markings.

Thanks all! According to the most recent orchestration book by Adler, all of the keyboard instruments in the orchestral setting must go above any vocals. The setting for chamber ensemble (not chamber orchestra) usually follows different order. In finale it is named "Custom" setting. I thought it wou...

Hi all, is it possible to reorder staves for just a portion of the score? I am using orchestral order and the organ is above the voice. It is fine, but for a few systems music is only limited to just voice and organ and it would be nice if I could place the voice above the organ temporarily until th...

Thanks all, somehow the default spacing option was changed. I followed Motet's recommendations and the problem is fixed now.

Motet, this was the problem. All fixed now. I did not intentionally switch the setting. It is strange, how could it happened by itself? But, I have learned a new thing.

Than you!

Hey friends, does anyone experienced the same problems with the clustering of triplets. I am attaching the file.
I am using Windows 10 and Finale 25.
Thanks!

OK, it worked. I understand my mistake now. I also thought finale should do it automatically when deleting instruments. Well, now I know. Thanks!

Motet, I tried Respacing, no effect.
Peter, I am attaching my file.
Thank you, Igor

Hi, I am using finale 25.4 for windows. I have added some instruments and later deleted. The problem is that the system holds the space for those deleted instruments and I can't remove this space. To explain myself better, when I open "Edit system margins" box, I see I big number under "space for ad...

This sounds like it may be the same problem that RiemannHypothesis reported below in the topic "Garritan Sound Balalaika not following dynamics or Mixer." Check out the solution offered there and see if that helps. Thanks, I read the solution and attempted to apply it to my case, but unsuccessfully...

After some experimentation, I find that I can leave HP on, but with the MIDI tool, apply Velocity Data to the Balalaika staff to completely control dynamics (fixed levels and cresc. and dim., etc.). The key is to set HP preferences to incorporate Velocity Data. If that is not done, HP won't recogni...

Hi, this might be strange, but pan pipes volume doesn't respond to any changes. Not even if I take it all the way down to 0 level, it still continues to be loud. I can only mute it entirely from the mixer. I could not resolve this issue.
By the way, I use finale 25 for Windows.
Thank you.
