Hi Chuck, Thanks for the test.
As it turned out, there was more to the story. All the text in the box had a blue highlighting, as if it was ALL a text insert (it wasn’t!). I could add a flat, but only AFTER the blue-highlighted text, not in the middle of it. This seems to be the case with text inserts, that they CAN be edited in the text box (rather than in the source dialogue box) but sharps and flats can’t be inserted. I don’t know how Finale came to think of this text as an insert, though. I solved it by creating a new text box and re-typing all the information. Thanks again.
