RE: [Finale] Clef problem

Many more sophisticated folks on this list than me, but just in case, would it possibly be appropriate to simply have both hands in two parts in the treble clef for a few bars? Left hand part stems down, right hand up. You see that sort of thing all the time, but maybe you are implying something

In a piano piece, at the transition of a 6/8 section to one in 4/4, I want to put a [dotted quarter note] = [quarter note] indication above the staff, using the actual notes, obviously, not descriptive text as I did here. Do I have to find the symbols in a font and put them in a text box or is

[Finale] tuple over a barline

I thought I had done this before but now I'm not so sure. In 6/8, the last eighth note in the measure is the first note of a 3:2 triplet, and I can't figure out how to do it. I don't care about correct playback. Thanks all Stu ___ Finale

[Finale] swing feel in non-jazz piece?

I'm working on a piano piece that has a recurring two eighth note motive that has a slight swing to it. Definitely not a quarter/eighth triplet feel; an accurate representation might be an eighth tied to a 32nd note, followed by a 32nd tied to a 16th, but that looks precious to me, esp. in

RE: [Finale] swing feel in non-jazz piece?

Darcy's suggestion is the best for me, too, but explaining it to someone who doesn't understand swing is the problem. I suggest a note accompanying the work, either as a footnote or an incipit before the body of the work starts (I know that's not a traditional incipit, but I think the concept
