I don't like how the tips of the system braces in Finale are cut off when they're pointed in every other software/score I've seen. Any way to change this? I thought it would change with a different music font

Maybe we need more specifics. Are you talking about braces, brackets, or both?

Okay. Brace tip. Got it.
In Document options, Piano Braces and Brackets, change the Tip thickness to 0 (zero). That should do it.

I thought I would research this a bit and I can see that up until Finale 2001, the tip for braces was set to 0 (zero). Starting in Finale 2002, the tip is set to 0.025. I wonder if the change was intentional, or accidental. From 2002 on, it seems to have remained at 0.025. If it was accidental, then it simply continued to remain that way from version to version without being noticed. I never really paid attention. 20 years has passed since version 2001 and this topic has alerted me to something that I failed to realize.
