Spent the past week trying to get Finale 27 to recognize the Toccata font (addressed in a previous thread: In existing articulations, I can go to the Symbol Selection subwindow and see the full font there, and it says "Font: Toccata" at the bottom; but it will only print out the dreaded [?] character, and the Toccata font does not show up in the Finale 27 Font list despite it being available on the system and all other applications)
Anyhow, since it seems clear for some reason that Finale 27 can't print this font, I have to move forward and find substitutions so I can go back and edit my existing files that use the symbols.
Most of these symbols I have found in the "Finale Maestro" font but the following I can not (and of course these are the ones I use the most)
An Up or Down arrow on a squiggle that I can combine with an Arpeggio articulation to notate the direction. There are two in Finale Maestro, but they include a very long squiggle so I can't use them. I just need an arrow with a short squiggle.
Small noteheads with parentheses and accidentals. I can combine 4 separate articulations from Finale Maestro to create the same thing, but this is not feasible to correct existing articulations.
If anyone can point me toward a font that has these symbols so that I can edit the Articulation once in the Articulation Designer for a file it would be most helpful.

Can you not just resize the notehead? You'll have to resize the accidental back afterwards, though. But you could perhaps quicken things with the JW Change plug-in.dallascomposer wrote: ↑Wed Nov 08, 2023 7:52 pmSmall noteheads with parentheses and accidentals.
