Hi Keith,

Unfortunately I'm not writing to help you out with your question.  That's
not an area of Finale I really ever use.  I'm writing to point out your
appeal for help once more.

It may be that your need can't be handled in Finale (which would be somewhat
of a rarity) or that someone got back to you off list.  But what I expect
happened is your post got lost in the shuffle of the hot topic of the past 2
days or so (Happy 250th Birthday Mozart).  That sort of thing seems to
happen around here more than it should.

In the past I've had difficulty expressing certain things about Finale
without being either wordy or unclear.  And I'm not sure I totally
understand your question, even though that could easily be due to my lack of
familiarity with guitar notation.  Do you know how to properly notate your
example and just need help with Finale, or are you wondering about the
correct notation as well?  Just in case, you might want to take another
crack at the question assuming a little less knowledge from the list
concerning guitar and/or TAB.

Anyway, I didn't want to ignore a first-timer, even though I can't offer any
specific help.

Can anyone else jump in?  I hope this gets you an answer.

Don Hart
