Thanks for your answer. I tried a lot with different native keyboard layouts but there was no chance for the very special character i needed (looks like a mirrored "e"). With some other ones i succeeded switching the language/keyboard to turkish. Alt+numpad only works for the ascii-charset or am i wrong? For unicode you will have to enter hex-numbers. The problem is just that each programm either supports it or not... Finale does not, a real drawback - not everyone is doing dumb-english-popsong-lyric with it...
Btw: i have no idea, what's the sense of the selection in the character-table in Finales lyric editor under format/insert symbol. It's neither an normal acsii-table nor ... No idea. You can try by switching the "script"-dropdown in the font selection from western to whatever and then watch the last about 60 characters, they change each time -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Michael Good Sent: Wednesday, May 12, 2004 7:54 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Finale] Re: Unicode Symbols and Finale Hello J�rg, You can enter Turkish or other characters into Finale, but you need to specify the native Windows or Mac character set. Finale lets you set the script for different types of text. I think if you search the archives you will find some hints on how to do this, as well as on the MakeMusic forum. On Windows XP, I can do this by using the alt+numpad method for the Unicode encodings - copy and paste does get the ? character for me. Sibelius does support Unicode.
