[Finale] Shortcut notation

[Dean M. Estabrook]

A couple of days ago, my daughter asked me to transpose a Schubert lied 
she is preparing for her senior recital. After determining it wouldn't 
scan into my Macfin 04, I simply input it into a new file via the 
various methods at hand.  Now the gist of my question:

The accompaniment's first measure contained a measure of 4 16th note 
groups in Common time. All the measures thereafter used the shortcut of 
2 halfnote noteheads occurring twice, of course, beamed with 16th (or 
32nd, I can't remember) beams. I was short on time for research, so I 
just plugged in all the 16th notes in the song rather than mess with 
the shortcut method. How does one come up with the shortcut notation in 
such a case?

Para m�, la m�sica es la respiraci�n de la vida y de Dios.
Per me, la musica � l'alito di vita e del Dio.
Pour moi, la musique est le souffle de la vie et de Dieu.
F�r mich ist Musik der Atem des Lebens und des Gottes.
