Hello I am working on some guitar tabs for an eventual book project to be published.  I am having considerable difficulty with Finale's guitar tools in getting the bends to look right.   Here are several examples from the same chart.  How do I note guitar bends that occur on the beat or off the beat, as well as ghost or pre-bends where the note is already bent before it is struck?   I don't really like the use of the small or grace notes with paranthesis - seems a bit clunky

To note guitar bends in Finale, use the bend symbol directly above the note. For bends on the beat, position it accordingly. For off-beat bends, adjust its placement. For ghost or pre-bends, start the bend symbol from the bent pitch. This keeps notation clear without resorting to clunky grace notes.
