Perhaps this is an indication of ignorance on my part, but it looks
strange to me to see an augmentation dot on a middle line note (stem
down) below the line, (which Finale has done on occasion).
Can anyone tell me what it is that I don't know about this?TIA,
OK. I had a hunch what the explanation was, but I tried the following
to test it anyway. Opened document without libraries, and entered a
quarter note on the middle line of the staff and dotted it. Stem is
down, augmentation dot is above the line; augmentation dot stays above
the line when stem is flipped. Inserted a half note rest before note
(so that the dotted quarter note now begins on beat 3), switched to
layer 1, and entered a quarter rest. As soon as I exited the frame, the
dot assigned to the note in layer 2 moved below the line. This suggests
that the behavior is an artifact of the behavior when stems are locked
in a certain direction based upon whether or not there are notes in
another layer, or not.
