in my experience, clicking directly on the note position right on the staffline works for expressions. for smart shapes, place the cursor directly over the VERY middle before 2-click-dragging (hairpins, for example).
if you mean previous on the same instrument (not adjacent staff), there are indeed situations where weirdness will happen when attaching measure-attached smart shapes to a 1-line staff when the previous measure inteh same staff in a 5-line. in those cases, i have been forced to create one for the PT and one for the SC and hide accordingly. this is a stupid bug that has been around for many years. i encourage you to file a report with the authorities. >whenever i need to use a 1 line staff for the percussion i can't >properly attach expressions and smart lines. i get a weird cursor : >arrow up and arrow left at the same time and it will only let me >attach things to the previous normal 5 line staff ! _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [email protected] http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
