Hi all.
I want to create some examples for my jazz students, and I need to enter pitches into a measure without regard to rhythm. In other works, whole note, whole note, quarter note head, whole note, etc. The note heads would be "graphic" elements only. Is there a way to do this so that Finale does not try to interpret any rhythmic values to the note heads I place?
A related question...is there an easy way to enter quarter note heads only (i.e. no stems), or must I go back after the fact and remove stems?
Thanks in advance!
Create a Staff Style, where under Items to Display you have unchecked "Stems". When you enter the pitches, enter them all as quarter notes, so that they will all space evenly. If you need a whole note head rather than a half note head (small difference), enter everything as quarter notes anyway, and change the ones you need to with the Special Tool to whole note heads. This will save you from having to respace the measure manually, which I always find to be a pain.
David Bailey's method will allow you to put noteheads literally anywhere, but you probably want them on the lines and spaces. My method will space them evenly automatically as well, which will save you time if you have a lot to do.
