i have a 5 voicing piece to write on finale and the problem i have is mith the 3 layers in the treble clef.
I wonder if there is an automaticall way or plugin to join the stems and beams of the one layer with the other in order to not look odd as with the picture without using for each bar and note the special tools thx

I would use chords where possible, rather than layers.

Here's a quick attempt at cleaning it up.

I'm not sure. You might take a look at Jari Williamson's plugin, JW Staff Polyphony. That might be able to do it.
