When generating a lead sheet, it is often desirable to have chords that
sequence under a fixed melody note. For example, you might have
an 8 beat whole note where a sequence of chords are changing under it.
This is not in keeping with the way finale anchors chords, since it the chord
anchor must be on a tied note, note or rest. I have not seen any way to
anchor a chord to a note that's not in the staff.
One can generate an artificial chord anchor by breaking a
long note into tied notes, but that makes it awkward to read the
music, and it's not good notation practice.
I tried hanging chords onto alternate layers, but that means sticking notes
into the score that don't belong, and I have not figured out
how to suppress the printing out of the alternate layers. That really confuses
things.
Has anyone figured out a way around this?
Yours; Bill
