Hi Jef, Unfortunately not. Using my default file, with 3.5 point hooks and 6 point default vertical position, I'd have to change that value to 20(!) points to avoid the problem. Obviously that's unacceptable as a basic setting. Other than this one issue, I'm pretty happy with Finale's Enhanced

Just auto annotate will do it? Hard to imagine this will solve the problem, but I will try it. On Mar 6, 2015, at 3:01 PM, Darcy James Argue djar...@icloud.com wrote: Finale - Preferences - Edit - Font Annotation… - select the font you use for your tuplet numbers, select Auto-Annotate

Darcy, I have no answer to your question, but I will mention that I am very happy with the autopositioning options in my Tuplet Mover plugin. It requires turning off engraver slurs and other automatic positioning options in Finale. (Otherwise the plugin does't know where the tuplet actually is.)

In my experience, Auto-Annotate All works perfectly in over 90% of cases, and even in cases where it's not flawless it's still a huge time-saver. It's one of the truly great recent Finale features. Cheers, - DJA - WEB: http://www.secretsocietymusic.org On Mar 6, 2015, at 6:03 PM, Chuck

Hi Darcy, I adjust them manually and am sorely irritated by the necessity to do this in order to get the triplets to look uniform. Maybe Jari can invent a plugin that would fix it globally. If there is another way - a better setting for the triplet brackets that circumvents the problem, I’d

quick answer, on my way out. higher bracket height? 2 or 4 EVPUs might give you enough clearance and not look out of place. As I'm sure many of you have noticed, when triplet brackets are set to avoid staff and the bracket is positioned very close to the staff, often the tuplet number no

Darcy, I just re-read your post and realized you were referring to beam angles of grace notes, which Patterson Beams does not affect. Here again, a mitigating tool is Mass Copy, which can recognize and copy grace note beam angles. Robert On Fri, Mar 6, 2015 at 4:35 PM, Robert Patterson

Hi all, As I'm sure many of you have noticed, when triplet brackets are set to avoid staff and the bracket is positioned very close to the staff, often the tuplet number no longer lines up correctly with the bracket. When the bracket is below the staff, the tuplet number often shows up too low
