HandChimes notation (HandBells)

[garyohio]

Hello, Group. First posting here, and long, LONGtime Finale user.
Turns out now i need to notate for HandChimes in my HB notations.
Using V. 26.3.1.520 (fwiw)
The USER MANUAL doesn't boot up when clicked. SEPERATE problem, but tossing that out here as well if anyone has info on that problem.

There doesn't appear to be a font for HandChimes. Do YOU have it on YOUR version? They're essentially diamond shaped characters to mostly follow the rules of normal notation.
Yeah, there is the "special character" available... but Uh Uh: that'd take weeks & weeks to specially fill in those spaces.

TIA,
Gary in Ohio

garyohio,

I am not sure I understand the problem.
Could you be more specific?

Take a look at the attached Finale document.

The Maestro font has both open and closed diamond noteheads. You can use the JW Change plugin and its various filtering and sequencing features to swap out regular noteheads for diamonds.

JW Change comes with Finale 27 or is available as a free download for previous versions:
