Hi All,

I must have finger poked something, because now when I enter a smart shape hairpin cresc. or decresc., it is not horizontal by default. How can I switch Finale back to make horizontal hairpin placements by default?

Thanks and cheers,
Hector Pascal.

Maybe try Preferences > Edit > Automatically Constrain Dragging (Press Shift to Temporarily Disable).

Or: Smart Shape (menu) > Smart Shape Options. Below Crescendo/Decrescendo you may check Make horizontal by default.
