Richard Yates: Then your best bet is to make a circle as an articulation in the shape designer and define its positioning so that it automatically centers on the fret number. The big problem with tab is that you have no way of specifying the exact vertical offset of expressions. Furthermore,

Shape designer is what I did before. Stems sort of like that but positioned to the side of numbers, like note stems, with numbers representing notes. Thanks, there doesn't seem to be any easy way to do this. Bonnie Don't give up yet! How do these look?

Richard, Wow, that's great! this is what I'm looking for. Was this generated in Finale from the original notation, w/ auto-position of stems and circles both? I wonder how well it would work with the more complicated 2 or 3-part example you showed before. Can't remember if stems will flip on

Richard, Eternal gratitude is yours. Yes, it's for beginners, so probably won't be doing much really complicated stuff. I'm sure I will have questions, tho, once I have the time to get into this again after Christmas vacation. I'm off list for a couple weeks. Thanks again, Bonnie On

Richard, I tried something like this once without the staff overly and it worked OK using a metatool, but I had to create the circles myself because whatever I found available in Finale was the wrong size and couldn't be resized to work for my purposes. I was hoping there was an easier

How do you overlay a non-visible staff? Are you just working in layers? Not sure I understand the question. The HOW is easy: make a new staff, uncheck everything in Staff Attributes that you want invisible. Drag it into place. The staff overlay was primarily to solve the problem of

While we're at it with tab, does anyone know of a tab library (or font? could you do this with a font?) which includes small circles around the fret numbers for half notes and whole notes? I don't think you could do it with a font because each number sometimes needs a circle and sometimes
