| Posted 12/24/2016 9:39 AM (GMT -6) |   | I am using Finale 2014.5 and arrange Handbell and Handchime music for my church Handbell choir. I have a requirement to have both handbells and hamdchimes play at the same time. The notation for hand chimes is the diamond shape for each duration. I can change single notes using the Special Tools ==> Note Shape option. I have two questions: 1) is there a way to change the note heads on a specific layer as a group?; 2) how can I get the "Handchimes Used" chart to display - the "Handbells Used" chart displays perfectly.
Thanks, Woody | | Back to Top | |

| Posted 12/24/2016 11:35 AM (GMT -6) | | First, as a given: I know NOTHING about handbell and/or handchime notation.
I started with the Handbell template, and added notes in both layer one and layer two, representing the bells and chimes.
Using JW change, I changed the noteheads in layer two to filled diamonds.
Next, I used the TG Tools Create Handbells Used Chart.
It generated two charts: One for bells, and one for chimes!
Now, I'm sure that there are many details that I missed, but it looks like you can do it.
