Well, you know Christopher, I love you from a distance, so I don’t see the warts. Nevertheless, I see how this might be useful.

Re: [Finale] Bill Duncan Rehearsal fonts
You get that by putting a right facing rectangular bracket at the beginning of the string of letters and a left one at the end. Then each letter acquires both brackets.

Re: [Finale] Bill Duncan Rehearsal fonts
Hi Doug, I don’t use the Duncan Rehearsal font for letters, but if you only need two characters for the enclosure, there is a way (and possibly a way even if you need more!) Take one of the pre-made repeating rehearsal marks, make the font Rehearsal. Then OUTSIDE the gray box, add the leading enclosure character BEFORE the gray box, then the trailing enclosure character AFTER the gray box. It will not sequence like the letters inside the box, so they will stay the same. Try this out. If you need more specific instructions, write back.

[Finale] Bill Duncan Rehearsal fonts
I know there’s still a handful of folks here using Bill Duncan’s fonts in various combinations, perhaps most notably the chord symbol one(s).

Lately I’ve been trying to branch out a bit and use a few more of his fonts, in this case the one called Rehearsal.
