You need to go to the O.L.D. to find out which character is in which slot.
Go to the HELP menu, scroll down to User Manual, and a sub-menu opens up, with an entry for each font that comes with Finale, select Maestro Character Map. A PDF document will open which shows you each character available in the font, along with how to get it to show. Scroll down the list until you find what you are looking for. On Windows machines, Some are letters which are uncapitalized, others require the shift key, some require you to hole the ALT key while typing (on the numeric keypad, which they don't make clear) a combination of numbers which all begin with zero. (On Macs, I don't know what would take the place of the Alt-4numerals combinations, but it should be clear from the PDF file that shows the character map.) The CODA sign (the zero with the cross overlaid) is gotten by holding the ALT key and typing 0222 on the numeric keypad (on my Win98 computer it doesn't matter whether NUMLOCK is turned on or off to do this.) helgesen wrote: > Attn; Dave Bailey.
