Not so. Roemer gives accents and other articulations on the
notehead side as the traditional method (p. 37), but recommends
placing them all above the staff so they don't jump around (pp.
37-38), which I believe has become standard for a lot of jazz
arrangers. But that suggests that the question goes back at least
to '73 (the copyright date in my copy), and was not invented by
Finale. The word "tuplet," on the other hand, ...
Oh yeah, there it is (page 30 in my copy). Also Stone says the same
thing.
Where did I get the convention of keeping marcatos above the note,
even if other articulations are below? I know I didn't invent it.
