| Posted 8/21/2011 11:39 AM (GMT -6) |   | I can't think of any place I would use C/D7. C/D, CMaj7/D, are what I would use. Where is this Class taught? How would you voice C/D7? Slash Chords often indicate a Sus4 Chord, D7 with a G, not F#. Slash notation usually shows a simple way to voice the chord, rather than just a theoretical explanation. Of course you can stack them, but the F# will sound better above the G, not below. Again, how would you use and voice C/D7? Editing Suffixes will give you anything you want, but be sure you know exactly how to voice what you want, what the context and style indicate, where it's going, what preceded it. Leaving it up for interpretation may not produce the sound you want, or lead to the question "How do you voice this?" But using the Edit Suffix capabilites of Finale, you can do it anyway you want. I'm probably not the best person here to explain that. All I can say is , Be Careful of What You Ask For, You Might Get It!

| Posted 8/21/2011 2:40 PM (GMT -6) | | We went through this on the form years ago, and I know we came up with some great workarounds. First of all, polychords are not generally done with the slanted slash, but the horizontal one. Finale can do that, but still no 7. There are several ways to fake it but . Going in the direction of Jeremy's idea, I would enter D7, then push the up arrow, then C. I would then add the line as a Smart Shape line between the 2. The length of the line changes with respacing, but that can be adjusted easily. The suffix idea Jeremy mentioned is a way that would keep it from resizing. However, it does take a bit more work.

A combination of these two ideas:
Enter D7, then push the up arrow, then C.
Add the horizontal line as a shape expression.
In this way you have full control over the line's position and length.
If you program a metatool for the line expression, you can enter multiple instances of C/D7 quickly.

| Posted 8/21/2011 4:30 PM (GMT -6) | | Actually, adding the 7 as an expression was Jetcopy's suggestion, not mine. The shape expression as opposed to the Smart Shape line is good. I had that thought too, but didn't mention it. Even easier would be a Text Expression. Just enter the shift+- 3 times.
