Robert, You can do the first one and let the singer fit it in with the number of notes you're putting in...that option will be clearest so that the singer reads the meaning faster. Put a small written note above the spot in the score with the "new spelling" of the sound you want (spelled like option 3). -Jennifer
-----Original Message----- From: Robert Patterson <[email protected]> To: finale <[email protected]> Sent: Thu, May 30, 2019 2:23 pm Subject: [Finale] Text underlay question I would like to set the word "eventually" as 3 syllables, e-ven-tually. It works because the next word is "you'll" and it is quite natural to slur together the final three syllables of "enventually" in that context. But the e-ven-tually hyphenation looks weird. I thought of three possibilities: 1. use e-ven-tually 2. place a couple of grace notes before the main note and hyphenate it out as e-ven-tu-al-ly with grace notes on the "tu" and "a" 3. use a contraction: e-ven-ch'ly? e-ven-t'ly? None of those is very happy. Does this list have any suggestions? _______________________________________________ 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]
