[Finale] z articulation?

2012-02-07 Thread Jari Williamsson
Hello! What's the 'z' articulation used for? It's in slot 122 in the music fonts. It's also defined as an articulation in the Finale default file, so I think it's quite important? The positioning of this z articulation is on the stem. Is it some kind of tremolo? Best regards, Jari

That's a safe way of fixing many registry problems. Hopefully it will work. Claude is suggesting that you create a new user in XP, then use Finale as that user. That's a possible workaround for registry problems, but running as a new user will make your life more complicated, which you don't
