When it goes underneath a note, it is inverted to a V. In many jazz and commercial copying styles, all articulations are always written OVER the notes, so you might not have seen it inverted. Even so, it is quite rare. _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
