Craig, In the Special Tools, choose the Tie Tool (it's the second one from the bottom on the left on my default palette.) Make sure you are in the same layer as the note. Click the note in the second ending. Three handles should appear. Click any one of the handles and hit command-F (on a Mac.

A friend sent me this link: http://www.npr.org/player/v2/mediaPlayer.html?action=1t=3islist=trueid=2d=08-01-2012 Among these NPR programs, is one about an Abelton plugin called Sufi Plug-in. The program is listed as Translation Software For Music Makers. It's just a plugin to change defaults

Craig, FWIW, I WAS able to create a 2nd ending tie in Finale 2012 Mac using the option-click method from Speed Entry. I then could use the Special Tools Ties tool to flip the tie in either direction. If you're not able to do this, I suspect file corruption. Because it DOES work. J D Thomas

In the tie tool, the flip command was grayed out. I was able to drag the middle handle to approximate the look of a flip. But I could not get it to look like half a tie (i.e. the left handle being lower than the right handle. The left and right handles seemed to do exactly the same thing
