Hi forum,

Could someone give me a hand.

I'm trying to get a 1/2 Trill articulation but the Articulation Designer is giving me a really hard time.

I get the correct shape but somehow the Designer makes the 'hit box' much larger than the articulation itself. When I place it, it sits way above the staff and it's not possible to move it any closer since Finale thinks the articulation is much larger than it looks like.

Thanks,
Best

An attached graphic might help, but …

It is difficult to discuss the problem without seeing an actual Finale document.

I suggest that you attach a (small) Finale sample document here, for the gurus to examine.

apkyburz ,

Take a look at the attached Finale document.

Is this what you need?

Exactly! Thanks.

If you have a minute, what did you change to adjust the box size?

Thanks
