[Finale] Invisible Invisible Layers in Fin 2014

2013-11-06 Thread Giovanni Andreani

Hey David, With your suggestion, I sat down with Mark's opus (Finale 2012 A Trailblazer Guide) in hand to learn how to use the Score Manager. There is no item in the table of contents about the SM so I looked in the index. There are 3 citations there, but they only talk about the SM to solve

Hi everyone. I have a problem with Finale 2012: in the Expression Tool, I know that the fourth triangle on the left of a staff should adjust the placement of the next symbol that I will insert. Unfortunately, when I move this triangle and then insert a new symbol, it will appear in the default
