Is there a way to put a paranthesis around a group of notes? They would be an arpeggio of four 1/8 notes. Would like to do this in music notation and tab numbers.
Am using windows 10 and Finale 26.
Thanks for any help.

There are parentheses in the Articulations.

If not, you can create expressions and make them the size you want.

Thanks so much to Miker and Motet. You guys are great and very helpful. I really appreciate it.
I ended up using the articulations way since it was easy to understand and didn't have to create.

If you need huge brackets in Finale for example on note clusters or that span two staves, it's more difficult as most fonts are too bold if increased in size.
Here are some special font suggestions for articulations: https://elbsound.studio/large-brackets-in-finale.php
