Re: [Finale] Slur metatool
Oh yes, I forgot about the slur metatool. There is only a metatool to SELECT the slur, which is S. But as I mentioned, I leave the slur selected all the time, so I never use the metatool for that. You still have to double-click the first slurred note. If you release immediately, it creates a two-note slur. If you double-click and drag, you can create a three or more note slur. No shortcuts, I’m afraid.

Re: [Finale] Slur metatool
You have to assign the shortcut to get to a tool. This answer is from Peter
Thomsen.
"In the Mac version of Finale you can program eight tool metatools to the
keyboard shortcuts {ctrl + one the the keys F - G - H - J - K - L - semicolon
(;) - feet (')}
(on the middle row of the alphabet keyboard).
To program a tool metatool, hold down ctrl and alt, and press one of the eight
keys F - G - H - J - K - L - semicolon (;) - feet (').
The dialog box Master Tool Palette appears, letting you choose the tool you
want to assign to the key you pressed."
Me talking now. To add a tie in Speedy the = button is very close by on a
full-sized keyboard on the number keypad. On a laptop you might find T to be
easier to hit. It does the same thing, and is easy to remember (T = tie).

Re: [Finale] Slur metatool
Unfortunately, if you are in Speedy you have to change tools to get slurs in. The Smart Shape tool remembers what item you have clicked on, so I leave it selecting the slur, and use metatools for OTHER Smart Shapes (< and > for cresc and dim, mostly.) There are assignable metatools to select the TOOL, though! So you can switch quickly to the Smart Shape Tool and switch back to Speedy without having to move the mouse over to the toolbar, then again to switch back.
