You have to assign the shortcut to get to a tool. This answer is from Peter
Thomsen.
"In the Mac version of Finale you can program eight tool metatools to the
keyboard shortcuts {ctrl + one the the keys F - G - H - J - K - L - semicolon
(;) - feet (')}
(on the middle row of the alphabet keyboard).
To program a tool metatool, hold down ctrl and alt, and press one of the eight
keys F - G - H - J - K - L - semicolon (;) - feet (').
The dialog box Master Tool Palette appears, letting you choose the tool you
want to assign to the key you pressed."
Me talking now. To add a tie in Speedy the = button is very close by on a
full-sized keyboard on the number keypad. On a laptop you might find T to be
easier to hit. It does the same thing, and is easy to remember (T = tie).
