Re: Articulations and slurs stacking not working
Welcome to the forum!
1) You have posted in the forum for hardware issues, but I suspect that this issue is data specific. Read on:
2) Your example could be a (missing) .FAN file issue.
Check the .FAN files for the music font(s} used in the project.

Re: how to prevent adding a measure at the end when editing last measure
You are using Finale v27 - right?
And you are entering music with the Simple Entry Tool - right?
Take a look in
Simple Entry Tool > Simple menu > Simple Entry Options…
Is the option
Create New Measures
selected or de-selected ?

Does it happen in all Finale documents - or only in some documents?
Could you attach here (for the gurus to examine) a Finale document with the problem?

I opened your attached Finale document in my v26 - and I did not experience your problem with disappearing A’s.

Re: slashes used as repeat symbols
I suppose that you have both single slash and double slash in the same Finale document - right ?
I would use the Slash Notation staff style for the single slashes, and custom expressions for the double slashes.

Re: Plug in question
True, but “Center Over/Under Music” works on all measures - including measures that happen to be the first measure of a system.
Which means that you can freely push measures up/down between systems.

Re: Plug in question
For that very reason I do not use the plug-in.
Instead I edited the expressions created by the plug-in, and saved the edited expressions as a library.
When-ever I need to number repeated measures, I load my library, and use the expressions from the library.

Re: Make measures taller without formatting issues?
I suppose that all systems are locked - right? When you make the staves bigger, the notes, too, will get resized, and the music spacing will get tighter. To avoid a too tight spacing it may be necessary to decrease the number of measures in each system - so that you get more systems/pages. Something...

Re: tie 2 syllables
I am not sure I understand. You can tie two notes, but in this case there is only one note. To attach the two syllables ‘na’ and ‘y’ to the same note, separate them by a non-breaking space character - instead of separating them by the normal, breaking, space character. Windows text fonts have a “non...
