i am designing a font (open type) containing characters for durations 
and to be used for tempo indications and time sigs and am trying to 
get ligatures to work.  for example, when i type 2 flagged sixteenth 
notes directly after one another, 2 beamed 16ths result.

as i understand, this should in fact work, since finale now has 
unicode support?  the ligature i created works in the font design 
programme but not in finale or in iWork's pages.  in both i can type 
the actual character the ligature is placed in and it appears 
correctly, but it doesn't automatically show, as it should.

has anyone worked with ligatures in finale successfully?

(PS i know other fonts exist, but the only one that is decent enough 
to be useful for me is bach, but i find it has limitations and i 
don't like the look of it :-).  anyways, i need straight flags and 
the look of it has to be consistent with my other custom fonts)
