Hi J�rg, Weldon, and David, Thanks for this discussion. I've been meaning to get this working here and this finally gave me the impetus to do it.
Cut and paste works - as does typing directly - if you set up a Windows keyboard for the language you're using. I've tested this on Windows XP with both Turkish and Japanese, and it should work the same way on Windows 2000. It most likely won't work on 98 or ME since they don't have Unicode support. On XP, you add the keyboard by going to: Settings -> Control Panel -> Regional and Language Options Choose the Languages tab, then click on the "Details..." button under Text services and input languages. From there, use the Add... button to add your language. When you're in Finale, change your Windows input keyboard to the language you need (usually by using left alt-shift). You can then type in the Turkish or other characters directly if you know the keyboard layout, or cut and paste from Notepad. I didn't try typing in directly with a Japanese input method editor since I haven't used one before. If you are doing cut and paste, make sure the keyboard is set to the correct language both when you cut from Notepad and when you paste into Finale. Also make sure you have your Finale text expression set to the correct script (e.g. Turkish or Japanese, not Western). Since Sibelius supports Unicode, you don't have to go through all these extra steps - cut and paste just works. It sure would be easier if Finale supported Unicode, but at least it's possible once things are set up correctly.
