I believe he difference there is that all the notes under the big fermata
are done by one player or singer, while the accompanist or conductor waits
- not dictated by a conductor of a larger group, whose conducting of
multiple fermatas will confuse the players who have only one in the part.

Hey all,
I'm coming from Finale Mac 2007 to 2011 and I cannot get any access to the font
menu when in Shape Designer. It's always greyed out. I used to be able to,
but in 2011, no go.
Did MM remove this for 2011, or am I just missing something?
Thanks.

Yeah, that sucks. I was thinking you could individually change the line
thickness, but it doesn't work for the slur tool. Grrr.
I always use George Crumb style fermatas in these situations, which as it
happens are much easier to create. (You can do it with the custom line
tool.) But that's not wha

The slur tool isn't as thick as I'd like. On the forums, someone did
this by stacking several slurs in the shape designer with slight

I definitely use one over each. For short
fermata I use triangle ones.
They also look less fussy chained up.

Hi Aaron,
There isn't any easy way to get a wide fermata -- especially if you want it to
be stretchable, or of varying width.

You're right -- absolut
Hi Aaron,
My solution would be molto rit with a fermatta on the last sixteenth for
everyone (so players not playing would have a dotted eight rest followed by a
sixteenth rest w/fermatta. That is fairly standard and unambiguous.

I considered that. But an old teacher of mine used to say that one

are playing. F

Hi, Aaron.
It's not what you asked for, but a fermata on the last sixteenth with a "molto
rit." or "directed" might convey the intended effect. Your solution, though, is
exactly what I would have tried.

Hi all,
Does anyone have any ideas for putting a wide fermata in Finale?
Example of use: All instruments have a fermata on a quarter note, except
for one instrument which has 4 sixteenths on that beat. Each sixteenth
is meant to be elongated, and in this particular case will be dictated
