Hi Noel Maybe I should have said a better cluster tool please
I agree on the "Custom Stem" tool but the chord issue is not always easy to make work. My original issue was "tight" cluster of a Aflat Bflat and Bnat It is damn hard to do a single layer CHORD with Bflat and Bnat together. ala the need for the "cluster" I guess I could respell Bnat at Cflat but that is confusing. The idea of a tool that would allow someone to choose the notes to cluster. Hiro's solution of triplet would work but I can see or have had a few issues when trying that. And the "smart shape tool" is not that good IMHO Again being a Finale newbie I am not trying to down cry the knowledge and experiences of the experts but being a newbie I just find it not that good a process and so suggest that making it user friendly should be the aim. Or am I wrong?
