Hi Hiro Thanks for the suggestion.. Yep a bit "clunky" bit would work fine I guess. Never used the smart shape tool- guess it is time to learn. The Aflat & Bflat sit vertically on a single stem OK it is adding the Bnat that is the issue as if I try to join them on one single step the Bflat and B Nat just swap.
The triplet idea would work fine. Awful in playback probably but that is OK I am not worried about that. What about issues of re-spacing the page and then the new stems etc getting "dislocated from say the central note? Just tried and that is what happened. I did check out the help PDF but I find that it is often less help than just playing around. In fact sometimes really unhelpful..

I just realized I haven't done this since FinMac3.2 days. There got to be a better way! _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [email protected] http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
