Re: [Finale] {Spam} Slurs and articulations
What I would do here is to enter all the accents first using the usual A
metatool. Then once the slurs are in, I would be in a better position to know
which ones needed to be inside. I would assign the A metatool to the OTHER
accent, with the inside positioning. Once any articulation is selected, a
double tap on the metatool A will replace it with the new one. Or I could come
up with a new metatool, depending on how organised and rigourous I was feeling.

Well, that's a case where you can use the REPLACE feature. I'm
so far
behind on Finale that I still have the Mass Mover tool, so I
can't
explain to you how to do it, but what you used to do was select
a
passage, then choose CHANGE = Articulation Assignments, and you
could then swap your original accents (without slur avoidance)
for
your new one (with it).

[Finale] {Spam} Slurs and articulations
I'm having trouble when I apply slurs to notes with articulations (staccato, accents, etc.). The slur attaches to the notehead, and I'd like it to float about (or below, as the case may be) the articulation. It's a royal pain to have to manually adjust every slur. I'm using version 2011 for Windows. Steve Larsen ___ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
Re: [Finale] {Spam} Slurs and articulations
Not in Finale right now, so I am foggy on specifics but, in each articulation dialog, there is a check box for having the articulation appear inside slurs. Certain articulations appear inside by convention (staccatos and tenutos), others - like accents, do not and must be adjusted by hand (as far as I know).

Re: [Finale] {Spam} Slurs and articulations
This is something slowing me down on an orchestra score I'm working on. (I'm in Win 2011a) It looks like when I go the Articulation Designer window for an articulation, there is an option in the lower left corner inside slurs. This works fine to have it checked for for staccato dots tenuto accents (inside the slur per Ross). However, for the () accents Ross says sometimes inside the slur, and sometimes outside. But what seems to me happens with those accents is, if I check inside slurs, it affects all of them in the piece, so I end up having to adjust all the slurs where I want the accent outside (or vice versa). Has anyone one found a better way of handing these? --- James James Cooper Composer, classical guitarist, songwriter www.ModeZ.com On Tue, Oct 26, 2010 at 1:08 PM, Chuck Israels cisra...@comcast.net wrote: Not in Finale right now, so I am foggy on specifics but, in each articulation dialog, there is a check box for having the articulation appear inside slurs.

That helps (David) - thanks. I have to experiment more, but was having problems with collisions between the accents slurs in this one section. I wonder if some of that was caused by the fact I put them in the 1st violins, then copied to the rest of the strings.
