Re: [Finale] Long first ending

Just for the record, MuseScore and Dorico (and I'm pretty sure Sibelius) treat endings, regardless of length, as a single object of variable length, not as a collection of lines that the user has to nip and tuck to get to look right. They all display endings properly, regardless of length,

I'm with you, David.  I am certain this worked in the past.  I just tried it with 25.5 and it does not work -- my results are as John Robert described. I have only 25.5 installed on my computer and haven't really used it for almost a year.  So I can't say what version last worked in this
