I'm at a disadvantage here, because I gave the original back to my
daughter ... I could always call her, I guess, and find out. However,
my memory is that the beams were, in fact, connect to the stems of the
two half note heads.

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,
Karen
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?
