Love the finale copyist font, very readable, i do all my charts in it now.

How do i get latin letters to appear properly. I found this page that shows the key shortcuts at the bottom for é, ñ, etc. but when I input them in the lyrics entry too, the ñ turns into a ½ symbol and the é into a strange little circle.

And ideas?

Thanks!

Are you using the Broadway Copyist Text font, or the Broadway Copyist Text Extended font?

Neither - the Finale Copyist font that was new in v 25 (i think?)

but using the ext font fixed it. thanks!

Try using the Finale Copyist Text Ext, rather than Finale Copyist Text. That has the accented characters.

You might also try the Mac long-press method. When entering one of those letters (a, e, etc.) hold the key down, until a flyout appears showing the available forms of that letter. Type the number for the accent you want.

I accidentally said Broadway Copyist. I meant Finale Copyist.
