Hi
I have a new problem
After creating the numbers 1-5 for a song I was adding fingerings

now opened a new song and the numbers aren't there in the dialogue

Do these have to be created for every file?
Once you edit a library (add, alter, delete things) for
articulations (or expressions) you need to save the library and
then to use them again you need to open it into a new document.
You can edit your default document so that it includes your edited
library, but these days I'm not quite sure which documents are used
by the wizard and which are used when you simply "Open Default
Document" (still my preferred way of working in Finale), so I can't
tell you which templates you have to open, import the library and
then re-save as a template.
One of the problems with libraries is that as far as I know there is
no way to import a set of metatool assignments. This means that you
may very well have all the fingering articulations imported as a
library, but you still have to go through and hit shift 1 and then
select the "1" articulation to set up the metatool for the "1"
fingering, and repeat on different keystrokes for each imported
articulation.
BTW, David, to use a metatool articulation, you just select the
articulation tool and hold down the "1" key while you click the note.
(this is assuming you already assigned it using the shift key!)
