You may be right about the right-click. I don't see any way of bringing it up. But try this: left-click (to select the measure), Alt-E (bring up edit menu), Alt-I (letter eye to insert measure stack). On 1/17/2015 7:06 AM, Patsy Moore wrote: Hello again, There doesn't seem to be any logic

I'm just loading up 2014, upgraded from 2012. I want to use the classic design for the icons (small boxed icons, lying outside the score proper--notes, rests, dynamics, staff, etc.). Is this possible in 2015, and if so, where do I change them? Thanks, Lnda

One other thought: Sometimes what is easier is to type your text into a word processor such as MS Word, and then copy the text into Finale. Finale has pretty awful text processing, and you can take advantage of some of the features that various text processors have for inserting special

Thanks, I will check out these links, I need to use the IPA Syllables instead of alpha-letters and I forgot to mention I am using Windows version of Finale 2012. In all the explanations I have seen, it seemed one almost needed programming skills to get the IPA syllables in Finale to be entered

David, I assume you have a IPA font already, such as the ones at SIL.ORG, e.g., http://scripts.sil.org/cms/scripts/page.php?site_id=nrsiid=gentium_download I think Windows fonts have the SIL codepoint (just checked; Arial does have unicode IPA). I'm not sure about Mac, but I don't know why they

How do you clear phantom playback notes. When playing back a short experiment, I hear phantom notes. That is notes are played that are not in the current score. I presume they are leftovers from previous note selections, but they have nothing to do with the current chart. John Witmer Clemson

John, I haven't noticed phantom playback notes yet, but I very often have hanging notes: notes that didn't receive the note off signal. It's a confirmed bug in human playback. If these phantom notes always appear at the same position in the score and you can't get rid of the, it may help to add
