This is another one of those really tedious workflows in Finale. I get around this by using a macro program called Keyboard Maestro. It basically solves the issue and only takes moment to program. I’ve even taken this approach when doing a specific editing routine for a client, even if it meant just for that session. It saves a bundle of time if you’re repeating this over and over and I just delete the macro when I’m done.
Something to mull over, perhaps? *************************** J D Thomas ThomaStudios > On Sep 21, 2016, at 10:29 AM, Doug Walter <[email protected]> wrote: > > I’ve always meant to ask this and it came up again . . . > > When I add a text expression to reduced-size notes - cue notes, e.g. - if I > don’t want the text reduced by the same percentage as the note heads, I have > to Control-click the handle, select Edit Expression Assignment, then UNcheck > the box in the next dialog that says “Scale Expression with Attached Note.” > I’d just like to save all those keystrokes by making that (the unchecked box) > the default state and I’ve never found a way to do it. > > I know I could make each expression so it has a fixed font size, but I don’t > want that either, because I may need to reduce the page or staff size and > then the expression is way too big. > > Thanks for any insights. > > Doug > _______________________________________________ > Finale mailing list > [email protected] > https://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale > > To unsubscribe from finale send a message to: > [email protected] _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [email protected] https://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale To unsubscribe from finale send a message to: [email protected]
