Finale Forum

hi
i just wanted to know how you can do that in finale?
not the grace notes , but the broken stems
thanks

Not sure what you mean by “broken stems.” Are you asking about the cross-staff notes?

What’s the time signature?

thanks for the reply
it's 3/4
and i don't know the word for that , it's the notes in the key of g , and the others in the other key

scorn,

Take a look at the attached files (Finale document and JPG graphic).

What do you think of this?

no i remember now , it's a little icon in finale that allow you to do that
i'll find it
thanks though for your help

Note Mover tool, in the Main tool palette. Be sure to select Cross-staff in the Note Mover menu.

ok thanks

No, thank you! I learned a lot by doing this!

In this case, the cross-staff plug-in (and it's associated shortcuts) is better than the Note-Mover tool, since it can do many notes at once, and takes care of reversing the stems.

Here's the whole passage. The OP may be back...

… it's 3/4 …

My guess is that ‘3/4’ was a typo.

John Ruggero’s graphic shows 2/4 - not 3/4.

Dang. 2/4 would have been easier!
