Re: [Finale] Positions of accents
You should be able to set the vertical position (and other parameters) of an articulation within the Articulation Designer window.

Re: [Finale] Positions of accents
Oh sorry! I misread your question. To have accents appear always ABOVE notes, rather than automatic placement, you would have to edit the default placement. Get to the Edit Articulation window (select an articulation in your score and hit Enter) and for default placement select Above. Done. If you only want this on some accents, not all of them, then duplicate the existing accent and change its default placement. Then use that one when you want it above, and the supplied accent when you want it placed using the default placement. I’m not sure why you want to do this, as the Finale default has the accents defined to be right in most cases. Files from old versions may not be as sophisticated. If you have already manually moved accents, you will probably want to clear all their manual edits. This can be done in Utilities>Change>Articulations, the default is add zero to the default placement, which will make everything position according to its definition.

Re: [Finale] Positions of accents
Martin, That sounds really weird. I would write in to tech support, and include the file and a PDF that shows the problem. For entering accents, in the default file supplied with Finale, there is a metatool assigned to the accent. Hold down the A key while in the articulation tool, and every note you click will get an accent. Or drag across a whole passage while holding down the A, and every note inside the dragged area will get an accent. S is staccato. V is marcato. There are others.
