I just tested the two sequences you indicated, and Finale reacts exactly as you say - but I assure you that until now I had already mechanized that sequence: Chord Tool / double click / Chord definition (new) / Fretboard selection (default) / Escape / Fretboard selection (new). Well... I used that so many years long in thousands of scores and parts that I have now the curious impression of a bad dream!
BUT two issues are not understandable for me:
(1) Why does not Finale recognize the tiped chord symbol as to give you imediately the good fretboard choice? I mean, why this need of going to the context menu "Edit chord definition"?
(2) When I double-click and enter a chord symbol (your first example), and type down an entire chord (chord letter+suffix, ex. Dmaj7), the Fretboard selection button persists showing the default choices of fretboards. But if I type only the chord letter and choose the suffix in the Chord Suffix Selection dialog, then the Fretboard Selection button gives me the new chord fretboard choice.
This question is important for me as I make a lot of orchestrations and arrangements for guitar players, and the use of fretboards is needed every day... | Back to Top | |

Question: these chord Metatools are assigned only to the document in work? or program assigned? | Back to Top | | Forum Information | Currently it is Tuesday, December 19, 2023 6:56 PM (GMT -6) There are a total of 403,820 posts in 58,165 threads.
