Re: [Finale] Articulations (tremolo slashes) not staying in place
Well, I solved the problem, although it seems like a bug in the program. My first violins were playing B five ledger lines above the staff, and the tremolo articulation stubbornly kept insisting on displaying below the staff. I temporarily transposed the passage down an octave, and the tremolos appear in the right place. Steve Larsen Original post: I'm using Finale 2011b on a PC, and I've run into a really vexing problem with tremolo slashes. When I try to apply the tremolo marking to notes written high above the staff (like Violin I) the tremolo sign ends up appearing under the staff. When I click the handle to move it, it immediately jumps to the top of the staff (not where I want it), and then allows me to move it into the staff. Then, when I change the view on the page by scrolling, it jumps back down to under the staff. Any ideas?

Re: [Finale] Articulations (tremolo slashes) not staying in place
This is one instance of the famous dancing articulations bug. Hit (on Mac) Cmd - D to redraw the screen, and that SHOULD be the actual real place the articulation will print. It seems to be just a display problem, but it is a problem if we can't see where the durned thing is supposed to be!

RE: [Finale] Articulations (tremolo slashes) not staying in place
I tried the default settings first. Then I started messing with them; nothing seems to help. You have the option of using the regular or the flipped symbol, both of which look the same (and act the same), and there are check boxes for such things as Avoid staff lines and Always place outside staff. The tremolo symbol acts as if I had checked these boxes, but only when the note entered is high above the staff.
