Unfortunately I am not able to get the 8vb sign. When I select the 8va symbol and I place it beneath the staff it still shows 8va. It should be 8vb. If I go to the Smarshape tab and then to Smarth Shape Options I see different options at the Symbols drop down namely:

Octave Up (8va)
Octave Down (8va)
Two Octaves Up (15ma)
Two Octaves Down (15ma)
Trill (tr)
Trill Extension (Wavy line)

It should be 8vb at Octave Down (8va). When I used a very old Finale version it works. 
Does anyone has the same issue or does some one has suggestions on this?
Many thanks in advance.

Kind regards,
Noud

Smart Shape Tool.

Smart Shape menu > Smart Shape Options…

 

In the pop up menu Symbols, choose ’Octave down (8va)’, then click the button {Select…}.

Character #195 is the 8va character.

Instead, choose character #215 - and you are “Back in Business”.
