Holy toledo, that's complicated! I just do this:
Enter the half notes (or quarter notes, or eighth notes) that are going to be turned into sixteenths.
Add the double slash articulation that is found under Metatool 7 (slot number 33) in the Finale 2005 Maestro default. Add only the single slash (metatool 6) if there is already an eighth note beam.
You can even drag across entire passages on multiple staves while holding down the 7 key to add double slashes to every note you enclose. You can easily delete any in between that you don't need by holding down the Delete key while dragging around the notes that you want to remove articulations from.
Is there something I missed in the original question that would mean that this doesn't apply? He can't possibly mean that there are two half note heads CONNECTED by sixteenth beams, can he? That seems completely weird to me.

Hi Dean,
Put two sixteenth notes into a measure. Go to the tuplet tool, click on the first tuplet. Select 2 sixteenths in the space of 16 16ths from the drop down menus at the top of the Tuplet Definition window. Right under that, where it says appearance set Number to Nothing and shape to nothing using the drop down menus.
Then go to the speedy note entry tool, use the forward slash key (the key you use for question marks) to join the beams together and delete any rests that may have come in that you don't need.
Finally, go to Special Tools, notehead tool and change the noteheads to 1/2 note noteheads.
You can do this with 32nd notes too the same way by putting two 32nd notes into a measure and selecting 2 32nd notes in the space of 32 32nd notes in the tuplet tool...etc..
Best,

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?
