Hello friends! I think I have a missing library issue. Since I bought Finale 26 I can't find the dynamics shapes, like the one in the picture. How do I fix this?

Thanks David! That was easy! Only they won't play back. Human playback is on. But I managed to get the TG Tools plugin to do the job!

Check your settings in Human Playback Preferences under Dynamics/Volume.

On a Mac there is a short cut: hold the CMD key and "<" or ">" and double click where you want the hairpin to start.

I think it may depend on how you have things set up. If I'm in the Smart Shape Tool, I just need to hold down < or > without the CMD key. If I hold CMD and < irrespective of whatever tool I'm in it takes me to Preferences.

You're entirely correct David, against my better judgement I wrote that from memory. You do, of course, have to be in the Smart Shape Tool and just hold down < or >. Thank you for correcting it before people waste their time trying to get my incorrect instructions to work.
