OK, but what are the triangles there for then?? The manual says: "Drag the positioning triangles to adjust the vertical positioning of the expressions. These triangles are handles that control the baseline for the expressions (the invisible line against which the bottoms of the letters align). Dragging the leftmost triangle up or down moves the baseline for these expressions vertically, affecting the entire piece. The second triangle sets the baseline for expressions for this staff only. The third triangle, whose effect is only visible in Page View, sets the baseline for this staff in this system only. The rightmost triangle sets the baseline for the next expression you enter."
Dragging the second triangle up just does not work (for me). The expressions stay below the staff. Am I missing something? I don't get it. ----- Original Message ----- From: "dhbailey" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, June 06, 2005 2:22 PM Subject: Re: [Finale] Expression positioning > Barbara Touburg wrote: > > > I'm trying to put expression marks _above_ a vocal staff, but the > > positioning triangles just won't work.
