I use this online tool for English hyphenation occasionally because it's fast and requires little tweaking of the results (also, it can handle very long text blocks): http://juiciobrennan.com/hyphenator/
There are some extant hyphenation databases available for free online, but it takes a while to sort through the junk to find them. The older ones are mostly TeX or similar files. Matthew Hindson's work is still available, too: http://www.hindson.com.au/wordpress/free/free-english-language-hyphenation-dictionary Circa 1999, when I was using Finale on a Mac and engraving a huge number of pieces in Latin, I created a word base to do this very thing to help out Philip Aker while he was developing his TextEditor plugin. Later on Giovanni (Doro?) sent some updates to the word base, too. http://home.swipnet.se/~w-52653/Finale/plugins.html#TEXT_EDITOR but none of the links work anymore. I have a copy somewhere. I'll try to locate it. Or you might find someone with an old version of Finale that installed it as a freebie.... around 2000-01 version? It went standalone at some point. Hope something of all this helps! -Cecil Rigby Clemson, SC ----- Original Message ----- From: "Raymond Horton" <horton.raym...@gmail.com> To: <finale@shsu.edu> Sent: Friday, December 02, 2011 11:23 AM Subject: Re: [Finale] Click Assignment > On Fri, Dec 2, 2011 at 10:11 AM, Richard Huggins > <huggin...@yahoo.com>wrote: > >> >> ..
