As far as I can tell, all 4 of those marks have exactly the same
Repeats are very buggy as to placement. They shift around according to wind
direction, season, or moon phase (actually, I think the measurements change
according to staff size, so it only seems arbitrary) and are hard to change
without affecting all other instances, as you discovered.

H. That may account for everything. I'll go back in and test that
this afternoon. However, my situation is that I have an 8-bar section

In your case, I would leave the To Coda in place, but hide it (for playback).
Then I would add an expression for correct visuals. The expression can be
attached to the 8th measure instead, or it can be added to the parts with a
metatool, attaching it to the multimeasure rest (Finale thinks that

It was the multimeasure problem. I'm on Windows, but I assume the same
bug exists in Mac. If one of these repeat markers is attached to a
measure that is within a mm rest you can't move it, period. This may
apply to things other than repeats, but that is my present problem. I

Thanks for that idea. I'll keep that in the bag of tricks. In this
case, I am able to get what I need by breaking the mm rest, moving the
To Coda mark, and then recreating the mm rest.
In reality, I have decided to through-compose that section anyway now.
I am adding an open for solos
Am I missing something here? A to coda instruction should break a mm rest, even
if it's the last measure of an mm rest. Maybe that's not the Finale default,
but I would break an mm rest for anything like a fermata, to coda, etc. I
wrong to do that?

Craig,
I'm still not sure why you're having a problem with this and I'm not. Two
simple moves and the part was good to go--could be one move just as easily.
Version or platform make a difference, do you think?

Let me see if I can explain more clearly. I have an 8-bar section --
bars 50-57 -- where most of the winds are resting. The To coda jump
occurs at the end of bar 56. That is where I placed the mark in the
score. In the parts that are resting, I expect to see a SEVEN BAR mm
rest (50-56)
What were your two simple moves? Are you saying that when the To
coda mark is within a mm rest, you are able to drag the To coda
mark? I cannot.
I don't have any reason to suspect this is a new bug. I bet it has been
out there forever. But I am running F1400a on Windows 7, FWIW.

My two moves after placement were to drag the exp. further to the right (in
the score; I see now that they cannot be moved in the part) and to make the
mm rest wide enough to avoid collisions. FWIW, you should be able to move
the exp. in the score after the part is made and not have to
I'm going to jump in with my 2 cents worth. As usual (maybe always:),
Christopher has it right. What Craig describes as looking amateurish and
cluttered is built into Finale's way of handling expressions on MM rests. As
Christopher points out, Finale only knows how to show an expression as
Sorry, Chuck, Craig, I was confusing in my last post. Craig's initial
question was about text repeats and I wrongly started calling them
expressions. My bad. - Don

This is not actually what I am seeing with F2014a. My To Coda is

Not in my case, I don't think. I have this To coda mark assigned to
the top staves only. This is the default and a good one. I hate
Have you set a staff list for it? I get handles for the markings that only
show in parts and can adjust position independently in the score if Allow
Individual Edits Per Staff is checked.

Is the failure of the repeat text to appear in the part not the same
problem I had the other week? Go into the Staff tool, double click on the
staff and in the resulting dialogue box check endings and text repeats
