dude, why would you want to make your life so difficult? that is the absolute worst way to do microtonal notation. expressions are more reliable for positioning, but in any case, you will want to reset them all to the 0 position globally (once all are entered) before doing any real layout work.
but why not use the built-in functionality of finale? you can change the accidental characters using the special tool/accis to have them appear, space and function properly. also if you are only using quarter tones you can use the programme itself to manage this and only have to check (and change enharmonically) specific pitches in transposed parts. e.g., use the parenthesized accis for your quarter tones (you should not be using parenthesized accis in microtonal notation so they are just sitting there waiting for a new meaning in life): 1/4# - (natural) 3/4# - (#) 1/4b - (b) 3/4b - (bb) > I am working on a piece with a lot of microtone accidentals, using the > articulation tool. Even though I have specified horizontal and vertical > positions for the articulation, this is ignored every time and I have to > position each and every accidental.
