It gives you these options for individual lyrics selected in the score, or groups of lyrics (or an entire verse) in the lyrics window.

I believe it says so in Document Options > Fonts > Lyrics
I make “after the fact” lyric changes this way:

Make your changes in the next window, OK

And besides that, guys only know the colors they had in their crayons as a kid. Not being from an especially rich family, I only had the Crayola 8 color box. So those are the only colors I know!

Orange chords?
A friend on mine sent me a doc. some of the chords are orange. Why?
Does it have something to do with parts (about which I know nothing?) The first three chords were in his doc. I added the fourth, just to see what happened.

Re: What is Finale's "Slash Chord" library?
Interesting. There are only seven suffixes (suffices?) in the Jazz Text and Times slash libraries, and 14 in the Arial set. And they all contain the delta symbol. I think this calls for a request to the mothership.
I will do so!

Re: What is Finale's "Slash Chord" library?
Very little info in the manual, and I’m away from the computer. Why not load it and find out? If you load it into a document without libraries, you’ll see exactly what it contains.

Re: Inserting flat symbol into Score Manager/"Score Name" Insert with Raleway font
As near as I can tell, the Title frame in Score Manager won't take a symbol, even if It's in the font. I entered the title on the page, using Finale Maestro Text, which does have the flat symbol. But when I looked in Score Manager, the flat entered as the missing character box, which was also promul...

Re: Playback attempts lead to error:"Finale encountered an error and will shut down."
Since other files work correctly, try exporting your faulty file as XML, and then, import it back in. If that fails to clear the corruption, you might want to send it in to tech support, and see if they can determine the problem.

Re: sixteenth note sextuplet
What I meant is that most of the songs I’ve dealt with rarely have more than one form of tuplet. If your score has primarily eighth note tuplets <3 eighths in the space of 2 eighth notes> then you would set your default as just that. If your score is primarily 3 quarters in the space of two quarters...

Re: sixteenth note sextuplet
There’s no need in Simple to use the Alt-9, if you don’t have Use Current set. In my experience (at least, on barbershop music) you will either have quarter note or eight note tuplets in a song, but rarely both. So if you set it f.e. as <3 eighths in the space of 2 eighths> it doesn’t matter whether...

Re: How do you save/export a file as an MP3?
No. Or at least, none that I've been able to discover. I recently became a Keyboard Maestro user, and after a lot of mistakes, I finally made a shortcut for the cursor to click on the Type drop down, change to MP3, and Save, all with one hot key. Woo hoo! It's saved me a lot of time.

Re: sixteenth note sextuplet
I guess entering the first note before the tuplet may be confusing to some users, in Simple. Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't Speedy require you to define the tuplet before entering anything?
