What is the simplest way to put a niente decrescendo (hairpin ending with a circle) into a Finale 27 document? Thanks!

As far as I know, you’ll have to create the circle as an expression, and add it to the hairpin. This is a long-standing request, and they have not implemented it.

An expression? Most fonts have a degree symbol. This is 12-point Arial. Attach it to the beat where the diminuendo ends. [Mike beat me to it!]

Is there an easy way to have the circle permanently attached to the hairpin?

You can make a shape expression, and be sure to make it horizontally stretchable.

Some time ago this topic was already discussed:

There's also a link to a short youtube footage with some solution.
