Re: [Finale] Defining for a 'Set' of Notes
In music theory, the complete set of pitches used is called… (wait for it!)… a set. Yup, that’s the official music theory jargon term. Sometimes when other items are involved, you have to specify “pitch set”, but that’s all it is.

Re: [Finale] Defining for a 'Set' of Notes
‘Melodic Material’ is indeed what would be used in Italian too; it makes sense and that’s what the matter is about, nevertheless there may be an alternative term. I’ll be using many of them to indicate the sets of notes - ahead of a series of melodies to be sung (and from where the melodies are composed), on which to practice by improvising short motifs.

[Finale] Defining for a 'Set' of Notes
If possible, this question is for those fond of the theoretical aspect of music. Not merely related to Finale, although I thought that this list’s opinion could favour some remarkable responses. How would you define, in a generic way, a set of notes to be used for composing a melody? For example, how could C,D,E,G,A - forming a pentatonic scale - or C,D,E,F,G - forming a major pentachord - or A#,B,C - forming a cromatic trichord - be commonly defined ? I can’t find a satisfying definition: 'melodic structure’ implies aspects more related to the architechture of the composition, ‘series' implies a set of sounds to be taken in a particular order. “Ah! vous dirai-je, maman” is composed using the first six notes of a major scale, thus forming an hexachord, but how would it generally be defined?

Re: [Finale] Positions of accents
You should be able to set the vertical position (and other parameters) of an articulation within the Articulation Designer window.
