Finale Forum

I'm trying to change solid round noteheads to "X" noteheads in a section of a percussion staff with hand claps. The handclaps notehead Finale initially provides is a solid triangle--like the one I'd use for a triangle. Document Options shows me that the notation font is Engraver font set 24 plain. In the Change Noteheads utility, I'm finding all the highlighted noteheads in the measures I want to change, and I'm checking "X Notehead," but the utility changes the noteheads to a square with a question mark (attached illustration). What am I doing wrong?

Art, it worked for me. Can you post the doc?

Hi Mike. Here's a test document. I know I have to fix the brackets. Thanks.

Set the Percussion Noteheads font setting in Document Options (not the Noteheads font) to Engraver font set 24 plain and then the utility will work.

Thanks, motet. That worked.
