Problem is that there is no Custom Line Tool like told in Help manual

I couldn't find this anywhere, but can someone help me with how to create a pedal line like in the sample?

It worked. Thank you very much.

1) All string section is same and upper is oboe with same

How is it possible, or what is wrong that music spacing with same information in different measures with Finale 27 latest version is so different? What option I should change to fix this?

Ah, good. You had said here that CutePDF didn't work: Also, try using a free print-to-PDF program like CutePDF instead of Microsoft Print to PDF, or vice-versa. No help, same result By the way, I found something the other day that CutePDF couldn't do, but Microsoft Print to PDF could: I had this em...

Whoever will in such situation in the future, just short overview. Made lot of testing, reinstalled drivers etc... Finally found reason why it is so buggy. Problem is like always in Microsoft, more specifically - Microsoft Print to PDF is just very buggy. Microsoft itself denied this fact to Finale....

My suggestions: Try a different printer driver, as I have an idea that it may play a part in PDF export. Also, another thing to try might be to export as a postscript file, then convert that to a PDF. Hope these ideas might help... good luck in any case! Cheers, Hector. Exported file as TIFF file a...

W: 23.39799 cm
H: 31.99694 cm

If you still have 2014 on your computer, can you do it from there?

Yes I have and yes I can, but some things needed thousnads of times printing for testing as some things not working in 2014, like articualtion stacking etc.

File is same, drivers are same, everything is same - only result is different from different Finale versions

Customer support has probably never seen such a thing because they fail to test properly. Creating PDF from the Graphics tool doesn't render text in quite the right place on Windows. It seems to work better on the Mac. But it may be good enough for you, or not apply to you document. One thing to tr...

Try Graphics Tool > Graphics menu > Export Page > as PDF.

This doesnt help, result is same

I was working very long time with Finale 2014,5. Everything was OK, even exporting from Finale to PDF 2014,5.jpg Then I decided to get Finale 27. Everything was great till started exporting to PDF for prinhouse and result is here Export 27.jpg Soon found out that there is one more option, printing t...

Thank you. I forgot this place myself

In document options units are set to centimeters
Page format ->socre changing inches to centimeters, when going back its again in inches, and in Page Layout tool -> Page size units also in inches. What I'm missing or doing wrong that they all could stay in centimeters.

Finale 2014.5 How to avoid such spacing issues?

Can anyone tell me, is it possible to use in speedy entry tool win10 Speech recognition? It would be very helpful if both hands are busy on keyboards to give for example command Ctrl+3 for tuplets.
