I have been using Finale since V2. Many of my customers still want me to use it on their projects. I switched to Dorico on my personal stuff and now I am surprised at things like the triplet placement on beat "1" in the example.

Maybe it's a default setting I am missing - but why do I have to manually re-shape that triplet? After me fiddling around with it it may look ok in the score and then may need additional editing in a transposed part. Again, if there are default settings that take care of that, my apologies.

Peter,

 

What's the problem with this? It looks correct to me, so are you seeing something I'm not?

I would either flip one of the stems so they point in the same direction or adjust the angle of the triplet.

In the first triplet I would flip the first stem.

This is not a tuplet issue.

Finale by default notates single notes on the middle line as downstem notes, regardless of the context.

 

Finale can not see / understand the context.

We, the users, can see the context, and flip the stem according to the context.

My original point was that after not having to do this adjustment in another application, because it does seem to understand the context, even the most recent version of Finale requires manual fine tuning. Here various examples from the other app:

Finale is all about fine tuning. That is one of its claims to fame.

Peter, if that first measure is an example, it’s not a good one. The brackets are way oversized. Compare them to how the brackets hug the notes in the following measures.

I noticed the extended bracket after uploading the example.
