I can't get Finale to accept my offsets for coda or dal segno signs (sorry for the redundancy!). Using the Repeat tool, I click on a measure, select the sign or instruction, set the horizontal & vertical offsets, then click Select, only to find that Finale has placed the figure where I clicked, not where I specified. Then I click on the figure again, specify the offsets, and now they take. I don't have this problem with expressions, which automatically go where I've defined them.
There's nothing that I can see in the manual regarding autoplacement of repeat symbols, or offsets, or justification. Am I missing something?
Thanks!

This is a long-standing bug with the repeat expressions, going back many versions. I have complained about it endlessly, but nobody else seems to be bugged by it too badly. Particularly, you can't make the repeat expressions align reliably to the left or the right outside the measure, and vertical positioning seems to change willy-nilly. Try re-drawing the screen manually, and see if they jump around. I gave up and created repeat TEXT expressions, which don't playback at all, but at least I can put them wherever I like without them moving. Grr.
