Thanks to everyone for some great responses to my question.
I used JW Rhythm Copy (to change each 8th-8th pair to 8th-16th) and it copied
the rhythms correctly. But I noticed that it also erased the slurs in the
target measure. (It also erased the staccato marks, but I didn't want those
In recent versions of Finale, I will sometimes create a new (or select an
existing) passage of music that has the expression, articulations, and or
custom smart shapes I want and copy that measure into the new document.
Then clear the measure in the new doc. (As long as you don't use Undo, the

November 2 font also has them.
The other Sibelius fonts (Reprise Text, Inkpen2 Text and Helsinki Text)
have harp symbols.

Hello all,
I need to make harp pedal diagrams. Years ago I have made them, but I can't
remember how I did it.
They should look something like this,

I find it interesting to see such loyal Sibelius users, continuing to
defend it now even though it is (at least apparently) dead, like Michael
Palin and the legendary parrot in the Monty Python skit. I wonder if there
exists a Finale user with such fanatic loyalty. I've never met one.
Does anyone

Save it as a library when you have the first file open and then open the

The fonts are Engraver TextT, Engraver TextH and Engraver TextNCS
and the characters for pedaling are o,p,O and P. Those fonts also
hold symbols for the Harp pedal names.
BTW, this is all in the online documentation of Finale under Harp

Hi Robert,
Well, no problem unless you object to filling out a beat with rests when a
staccato mark would do just as well, which many engravers and editors do.
Eighth+sixteenth+sixteenth rest in all the parts just seems needlessly fussy
and cluttered to me, and while I accept that this

One change that might make it seem less like a bowing is to put the
staccato mark over the stem instead of under the note. This works better
for upstem than downstem.
Personally, I don't understand the resistance to using 16ths, but ymmv. If
the OP wants to switch to using 16ths, the JW Ryhthm
It is my understanding in reading his book, that it is not a question of
whether or not to use proper notation, it is a question of clarifying the
notation. From the controversy here I would say a text explanation is in
order; no matter what notation might be chosen... there are plenty of
In my experience, when there is a way to indicate something with text or with
music notation, music notation wins every time. Musicians for some reason I
don't quite understand have more trouble understanding cresc. than they do
understanding a hairpin, for example. Dots over the notes WILL be
It does seem to remove the slurs, but adding them back should be a snap
with Mass Copy unless you've done individual edits on them. Even then, I
think you could make a copy of your file before you run the JW plugin, then
copy the slurs from the copy back to the original after running the JW
plugin
I agree! The non-standard key sig would be for various scalar articulation
exercises, adapting some standard trumpet exercises to the melodic minor
mode for improvisational purposes. If the melodic minor key sig worked as
expected, it would obviate a tremendous amount of work in transposing an
