Hi Darcy, Yes - this seems to be the only choice when using these symbols. You have to control the positioning of each one individually. Not so painful, but unusual in that most things like this are default positionable in Finale. Chuck On Jun 10, 2014, at 9:38 PM, Darcy James Argue

Hi Darcy, Document Options Repeats Repeat Endings only controls the position of the numbers under repeat brackets (unless I am blindly missing something - always a possibility). What I am trying to do is to set default positions for Coda signs and Segno signs, as I used to do when using

I go to positioning, keep everything there, but add -.1 inch to Additional Baseline Offset (that's minus point one inch). This makes it generally lower, but it still lifts when the notes get high (that's the Additional Entry Offset value). You can find a value you like better than mine (maybe

It's probably easier to just lower the expression baselines globally (they are set far too high by default). The Entry Offset will take care of collisions with high notes if it's set correctly. Cheers, - DJA - WEB: http://www.secretsocietymusic.org On 16 May 2011, at 3:21 PM,

You are right, if I had only thought of that BEFORE changing all my default positions! The Entry Offset doesn't take articulations into account, so one still has to manually nudge the ones on notes with articulations. Christopher On Mon May 16, at MondayMay 16 3:29 PM, Darcy James Argue
