I use Finale for Mac v. 2012, and when I try to use Jazztext font to get the expressions like those in the attached file, those are the only I can get with my Jazztext font. And the key combinations that appear in the manual to get these in Jazztext font are completely different from the one I used to get those. I cannot find out how to get the others with Jazztext font. Any help?

sergiobn,

You tell that you are using Mac Finale 2012.

What version of Mac OS are you using?

Mac Finale 2012 has many compatibility issues with the newer Mac OS versions.

If I am right, your choices are to,
either
- downgrade Mac OS
or
- upgrade Finale

Go to the Rehearsal Marks category of the Expression Tool. You can make a letter based rehearsal mark. Just put in the characters for the enclosure (Shift-{ and Shift-}). Change the font to Jazz Text, 18 point looks good. All of the letters display this way.
