Re: Divisi on different staves in parts...
Thanks. So basically...I would have to create TWO new staves for each violin part in the score? One to stay as written in the score, and then the extra two to take the top part and bottom part, which I would then have to hide in the score. I would then have to reverse the process in the parts...I'd ...

Divisi on different staves in parts...
I think I did this once with Finale in the early 2000s...but I cannot for the life of me remember how I did it, or if I maybe just relied on the fact that parts weren't linked back then....here is what I need to do... I am transcribing/editing "Jupiter" from The Planets for a combined honor band and...

Re: Trills with accidentals
Actually, I discovered both types (accidental above the tr symbol, and accidental NEXT to the symbol) existed in the Engraver and Maestro fonts. I just didn't look far enough down.
Thanks for all the help, all!

Re: Trills with accidentals
Awesome....so frustrating that I was so close, but didn't think to Opt+Click on the Custom Line tool. Gah. I like the look of the engraver font flat trill, with the accidental being in line with the trill...but I cannot seem to replicate it in my own Engraver font...I'll play around with different f...

Trills with accidentals
I found a Finale file online that had this indication...and that's great...but I also need the sharp and natural varieties as well, and I cannot for the life of me figure out how to access these.

Re: Random re-draw issues...
I discovered that it had something to do with one of my measures. It had a lot of grace notes in it, and for some reason, it was causing the redraw problem. I only discovered it by accident...but when I did, I simply deleted the measure, and entered it again from scratch, but this time...no redraw p...

Re: Random re-draw issues...
There is a limit. If you have a Dropbox account (still free, I think), put it there and post the link here. This is what is happening: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ikbhuqdwb53qipd/Screen%20Shot%202021-02-04%20at%2010.29.26%20PM.png?dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/s/2t641qnrkr3s50w/Screen%20Shot%202021-02...

Random re-draw issues...
Anyone know why this happens sometimes? I can't seem to replicate the issue in other files, but it's definitely not the first time that this has happened, where one page of my file will suddenly disappear. If I zoom in, or out, it comes back, but...if I want to view my file in Page View at 100%, I j...

Re: Finale and Mac OS Big Sur

Finale and Mac OS Big Sur
So, I took the plunge on Big Sur, having waited a few months and thinking most of the bugs would have been worked out by now. I was also heartened by the announcement on the MakeMusic page that Finale 26.3.1 was indeed compatible...but so far, it's a nightmare, and I am wondering if I missed somethi...

Re: Custom notehead help
It is in the November font. There it is called "Round white notehead with dot". November is a great font, but it isn't free. ::: Bill Hmmm...thanks Bill.
