Re: [Finale] wandering articulations

[Christopher Smith]

If the score dates from before these kinds of articulations were “smart”, they 
might resist editing in the usual way. 

I suggest loading in a modern version of the articulation or smart shape from a 
new file. The easy way to do this is to create a measure in a new document, 
enter a note and assign every articulation and Smart Shape you are likely to 
need, and copy that measure to your target document. Hit Clear immediately 
after copying it in, and the articulations and Smart Shapes will be there in 
the selection dialogue boxes now. Assign a metatool (say, A to the accent) and 
select the accent you want to replace, double tap A, and the new articulation 
will be there.

Smart Shapes don’t have as easy a way, unfortunately. You’ll just have to 
delete and replace them.

If there is some sort of corruption in the file (very common, in my 
experience!) you might have to “launder” the file. Copy the contents into a 
fresh, modern file all at once (so you preserve time signature and key changes) 
but you will still lose all titles and page formatting. 

If the corruption is very tenacious, then export as Music XML and import it 
into a new document.

Have you switched to scroll view and edited them in that before getting 
back to page view?   I've found that editing incorrigable lines that way 
usually works.

[Finale] wandering articulations

[Elizabeth R. Austin]

I'm correcting a score which was entered with a much earlier Finale
version-however, the articulations cannot be 'update page' and save'd
adequately-the 8ve dotted line continues on and on, for instance, and the
pedal line wanders..I've tried deleting the original articulations and
reentering after the 'Edit'  but this did not work. Nothing seems to help.
Thanks for tips.
