Hi all

I have a big question (at least it is for me): how can I reproduce this exactly?

It's a really hard one for me...

Many thanks in advance.

With Special Tools, use the tool for moving noteheads to move that head over. Then, add the line with either a Smart Shape or an Expression.

Thanks!

That's how I did it before I saw your answer. The problem is that I think it's not playing it correctly (because of the natural and sharp signs).

Unfortunately, Finale messes with the positioning of the notes on the stem which causes more worl. In my attached picture, I found that the second example has more accidentals, it is easier to manipulate the notes and accidentals. For some reason, Finale wants to put a natural on the top note, which doesn't need one. Oh Well.

By the way, I did the split stem with the Special Tool for that. Took a bit of doing, but then it can be reused. Another approach.
