I’ll assume you know this is a users group and not Support. Hopefully, someone will fire up 26 or 27 to confirm this or not nine years later. My studio is torn up by electricians so it will be a few days before I will be able to get to this. Not sure it matters but are you on Windows or Mac?

Otherwise, MakeMusic’s $99 Finale upgrade sale ends today — use the promo code MUSICYOURWAY at checkout in your MM User account to get the price. This makes you eligible for official support through the Submit a request link at the top of the page.

I believe if you enter it as D###, you will get the E#.

A pain in the butt, but Finale has never figured this one out, as far as I know.

If that function is available in 2012, have you tried to uncheck "Simplify Spelling" in the Chord menu ?

Mike H, thank you for your response. I’m using Windows. Did they close down the forums? When I clicked the link that was supposed to take me to the new location, it went nowhere. Unless this is the new forums?

Mike R and Michel, thank you for those pointers. I actually did come up with one workaround, since posting my quarry, and that was to create my sharp diminished chord symbol as a text expression! I will definitely try your suggestions for future reference as well! Thanks again.

Hi Brian,

The old official forum has been replaced by this one. There are others that are unaffiliated still active. Glad you found a workaround.

Thanks Mike
