Attempting to use Finale 25.5 in Windows 10, with varyingly elegant results. I try to find answers elsewhere before I trouble the helpful people here.

Well, I'll be. I'd have included an image in my first comment if the forum had told me that I could do so by dragging it into the comment box..On the other hand, I sort of remember how to code the ...

[Finale 25.5 in the midst of Windows 10]I've composed a piece of music that begins with seven of eight players, one of them being the lucky flautist. I have notated a three-grace-note "rip" in the ...
