1) In staff 2 you have not entered the Layer 2 notes. Before using the Note Mover Tool, complete Layer 2, to make the Layer 1 notes flip the stems upwards. 2) These steps work for me: Switch to Layer 1, Click the Note Mover Tool, Click in staff 2, in the first measure (handles appear on the Layer 1 ...

… I don't get moving note of second layer staff 1 into staff 2. But I have no a clear idea of the layers used in the image, really … I think the layout is easier to create “the other way around”: Enter the first 16ths in Staff 2, Layer 1. Then, move the first 16th into Staff 1. * See the attached F...

According to your Forum User Profile you are still using Mac Finale v2014 (shown to the right of your post).

Perhaps it is time to update your Profile.

Take a look at the attached Finale document.

I had no trouble flipping the C note’s stem down.

With the Layer 2 C note selected in Simple Entry I used the command
Simple menu > Simple Edit Commands > Modify Entry > Flip Stem
(keyboard shortcut: hit the letter L key)

… When I Utilities/ Rebeam/Rebeam to time signature the display changes from 6/8 in dot quarter + dot quarter into 6/8 in 6 eight notes … My first guess would be that you are rebeaming to a 6/8 time signature of: Number of Beats: 6 Beat Duration: Eighth Instead, try rebeaming to a 6/8 time signatur...

… I tried a new staff style, I was on that first screen you posted same thing (same settings) but it does not work, it does not show rhythmic noteheads on any layer … As you can see, it does work in the Finale document I attached (which has Rhythmic Notation in Layer 1, not in Layer 2). * If you at...

I looked in my archive of Finale solutions, and found these files (rhythmic notation above staff).

But perhaps this solution is only what you are doing already (= having to manually tweak tons of little options on tabs and menus) ?

To move a beam to the left:

1) You must be in the correct layer.

2) Special Tools Tool.
Sub-tool: Beam Extension Tool
Handles appear on the beam (if handles do not appear, click in the staff/measure).
Drag the handle to the left.

Welcome to the forum! Indeed it is possible. Actually, it is not easy to find a layout that Finale can not do. Selection Tool.

Welcome to the forum!

The first thing I would try, is re-installing the Finale fonts.

Have you tried that?

… By the way, what is JW Change?

JW Change is one of Jari Williamson’s Finale plug-ins.

You can find Jari’s plug-ins here:

Here are two different solutions.

The first solution is more time consuming, but it is versatile, universal; you can do anything.

The second solution is faster, but it has limitations.

I suspect that the problem is a Windows problem. Anyway, you do not have to have two Finale documents open at the same time. You can open one document, select the relevant region, and copy to the (Finale) Clipboard. Then, close the document, open the other document, select, and paste. Also, you can ...

Let me get this straight:

You are talking about unnecessary dynamics in the layout - right?

You are not talking about unnecessary dynamics in the Expression Selection window - right?
