Hello
Jörg,
I write in roamanian language and I utilize specials characters in Finale lyrics and text. I can make a special keyboard layout (only for windows platform) for you and you can write easily and directly your specials characters. Please, if you want, send me un email with name of your OS and images with yours specials characters (gif or pdf). If you want for a particualr and special font, please send me a font or fonts. My experience: in WinXP, Finale 2004(2&3), Sibelius 3, Harmony Assistant 8 supports unicode for Times, Arial, Comic and other. For others fonts is possibly modify registry and all work OK, certainly the font must ot have the symbol for character (for a special character you can create with softwar Font Creator or Font Lab).
