| Posted By : Motet - 11/30/2016 8:00 PM | In a piece I did with Finale 2011 I had two triangles in my percission layout, one for up-stems and one for down-stems (different sets of noteheads). In Note Type / Auxilliary there's a Triangle open and a Triangle open (2).
In 2014.5 I'm trying to do a similar thing, but there's no Triangle open (2) and it won't let me have two Triangles. Did I do something to create the Triangle open (2) in 2011 (and thus forgot about it--entirely possible), is Triangle open (2) gone in Finale 2014.5 and I'm out of luck, or is there a new way?

P.S.: Here's a demo file that has a layout with 2 open triangles. (2) doesn't play back.

I'm not sure what instrument you picked for Triangle open (2).
Any idea why this changed from 2011?

Edit: I deleted the percussion staff and then recreated it, and then Maestro Percussion took. Either you can't change it once the instrument is created, or it was some artifact of my converted 2011 file.

| Posted By : Zuill - 12/1/2016 11:21 AM | | There's still an option in Staff Attributes for independent font as before. Did you check that? Also, I guess my demo file still plays back okay as the open (2) uses the same MIDI sound as open. So, if that is okay, then you're going to be fine for playback.
