Does anyone know how to add the little slur that is used to show finger substitutions in keyboard music? I could use 4-5, but traditionally a small slur-like line is used rather than a hyphen. I can't find this symbol in Articulations or in the Lyrics text symbols. I'm using Finale version 25.4.1.163 on a MacOS Sierra version 10.12.6. Thanks!

Ken,

Is this the sort of thing you're looking for?

You could also just write 45.

Takes less space, and can not be misunderstood (since most performers do not have 45 fingers).

Yes, Mike, that's it. How did you do that?

The arch is from the Bravura font. The numbers can be from there, or anything you like. If you use these a lot, you could put together a library of different combinations. Or, it might just be easier to set the bracket only as an expression, and drop it in when you need it.
