Re: lost rehearsal marks..

you're correct. All categories are empty. I opened a new document in 2014.5 and all the tabs under expressions are working...so the plan is to copy the music from the first one and paste it into the new one and go from there... I opened an older document and the articulations are there...and chord s...

alternate root

mac 10.8.5 finale 2014.5 is there a way to alter the default setting on the alternate root? I write a lot of stuff and the chord ends up not having the root as the bottom note, so finale always assigns it as the /(note)…for example Em7/G….which results in my going in, on every chord, and unselecting...
