Changing direction of grace note slurs
I can right-click to flip the direction of a phrase mark or tie, but when confronted with a grace note ( acciaccatura or appoggiatura )'s slur or tie, that technique does not seem to work. grace_tie.jpg Finale does not follow the music rule for slur directions (slur/tie/phrase mark travels from side...

Default Phrase Mark Directions
Like many, I was taught that a slur always takes its direction from the head of the starting note, unless there is more than one voice on a system. Thus in the image below, A is correct and B is wrong . phrase_mark.jpg Finale often presents phrase marks the wrong way round, and the user then has to ...

Moving voices to another layer
I've a two-voice stave which appears as in A in the diagram shown here: voices.jpeg I'd like to move the lower voice in A, so that it appears as the lower voice in B does. How can I select only the notes from the voice to move , to cut and move them to Layer 2? If someone could tell me the step-by-s...

Re: Making Hairpins Behave Like Music Notation
Many thanks Motet.
This would seem like a priority fix for the next version of Finale.

Making Hairpins Behave Like Music Notation
Whenever I insert a hairpin into Finale, it seems to overlap with its pre-inserted start and end dynamics. Why is Finale not programmed to know that such overlaps are forbidden ? forbidden.jpg I find myself having to waste time re-positioning hundreds of hairpins at every occurrence, when Finale sho...

Re: Making Smart Shapes Appear in All Parts
Thanks for the tips guys.
One day in Finale, as professional music notation software, it will be possible to use the standard:
rall.----------------------|
rit.----------------------|
accel.----------------------|
...indications above a bar/measure.

Transposing Notes to Show Correctly on Percussion Clef
I've a 1-line percussion clef. If a percussionist plays more than one instrument, then its usual to put note heads on the same line, and then just to indicate the change of instrument above. Having been imported from an XML file, my percussion clef is currently looking like this: transposed_perc.jpg...

Making Smart Shapes Appear in All Parts
In my masterscore, I have a rallentando marking, and then made a dotted horizontal line to show where the rallentando ends. In my parts, the 'rall.' indication shows linked, but the horizontal dotted line (which belongs as a normal part of every rall.!), displays in the masterscore but not in the pa...

I would like for thie two tied notes to show as one dotted quaver (1/8th) note. How can I consolidate the two ties notes into one? Thanks in ad...

Found 'Delete measure from single staff' here:

Shifting measures for one instrument
Am new to Finale, bought a manual, but can't find the answer in there. In an orchestral score, I inserted a measure into one of the instrument staves. Stupidly, I'd not understood the difference between 'insert' and 'paste'. After inserting, all the measures for that instrument have moved one place ...
