Hi, in the finale manual, they say that to change the enharmony of a note in simple entry mode, you just select the note and press backslash.
I have an azerty keyboard and the backslash key doesn't work.
Is there another shortcut by any chance?

Note: I know that I can also go to speedy entry mode and press 9, but I prefer simple entry mode (I never use speed entry)

This is confusing.

I thought that the AZERTY did not have a dedicated key for Backslash, so that you can only enter Backslash via a key combination (= ⇧⌥: = Shift-Option-colon).

Where is the Backslash key on an AZERTY keyboard?

On my French Azerty, it is Shift -Alt (=Option) / on the main Mac keyboard.
