Hi! Here is some more questions.1: When going into documents options-Layers and choosing freeze stems and ties up. Shouldn't all stems go up when stepping in notes for that layer? It seems that I still have to go into mass edit-utilities and freeze stems up from there after. Actually the stems are going up in a couple of bars. Not everyone. Strange?
Uncheck the box "only apply settings when music is in other layers", or something to that effect. There may also be something else going on, like maybe (sorry if this is insulting) if inside the group, the farthest notehead from the centre line is ABOVE the centre line, stem will go down by default. Unchecking the box I mentioned will solve that.
2: I have grouped sixteennotes and some of them should be rests but the rest notes are invisible. Is there any option somewhere to get them visible?
You may have hit something inadvertently in Speedy Entry, like O (letter oh) which hides notes instead of changing them to rests. Hit O again to make them appear, and change them to rests by hitting Clear (on the mac, I think it is Delete on the PC, or maybe Backspace?)
3: I tried to make a couple of bars alternated notation. What happend was that the hole piece become alternated style. How could I do to get a couple of bars in between slashed notated or repeat notated.
Make sure ONLY the measures you want changed are selected. Then in the staff tool, hit S for slash, or O for one-bar repeats.
4: When I'm finished with layout and getting all fonts and notes right, can I save my adjustments like a template? I don't find that kind of savments or is it in saving libraries?
Delete all the music in it, then save it as Jazz Font Default (with a .mus suffix if you are on PC) The next time you open Finale, all settings you have changed will be there. Or save under any name you like, and double-click on it to open it the next time you want to use it. If you have changed a Document Option, it will be saved. If you have changed, say, a notehead, then that won't be saved if you have deleted all the music, obviously.
