I usually put the chord rhythm in another layer using speedy entry and
type the letter o on each note to hide the note. I then put my chords
in. The only thing showing is the notes I want in layer one and the
chords. Hope this helps.

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?
