I can't find or remember how to insert a "rit." notation in a measure.
I can't seem to find this in the manual, either.
 
Any ideas?

Dynamics menu.
It should be displayed as an icon that says "mf."

Software:
 
Main: Finale 2011
 
Alternative: Allegro 2007
 
Other: Finale 2006, Notepad 2005, Printmusic 2010, Allegro 2001

I am pretty sure you know how to insert it to the measure, yes?

(Double click the desired measure and select your dynamic.)

Software:
 
Main: Finale 2011
 
Alternative: Allegro 2007
 
Other: Finale 2006, Notepad 2005, Printmusic 2010, Allegro 2001

He was asking about a rit., not a dynamic. In any case, you will find the rit. in the expressions list.

Mike,
PM 08 usually has it under the dynamics tool though, doesn't it? Correct me if I'm wrong here.

It's called the "expression tool" in all of MakeMusic's programs, and while the symbol for it may be a mezzo forte, it remains that it contains all expressions for dynamics, tempi, and tempo alterations, as well as various technique texts.
