Finale Forum

I’m new to Finale (Win 11, v27.3), so thanks for your patience. Suddenly, when I add a glissando from Smart Shapes, it comes in locked in a horizontal position. It worked previously, but now, no matter what I do (including resetting Finale Preferences), glisses are locked Hz with no ability to control angle - or better put, the vertical position of the endpoint of the gliss. I’ve tried it in empty documents and existing scores and to no avail. What have I done to break this?

Hmmm. Turns out this rookie was using the trill extension tool, NOT the glissando tool!!!

And so we learn, grasshopper.

The first ten years are the hardest.

Also known as “the Finale mantra”.
