Peter -- Thank you for your helpful reply. That appears to work. The other thing I played with is the "trial-and-error" approach to positioning: Move it over some, Zoom out and in to see where it...
I think I have a fix for the problem. If I turn off "Automatic Music Spacing" in the "Preferences" -> "Edit" the notes appear to stay in their place. Of course, I'll have problems again if I ever d...
For all the years I've used Finale, I've never been aware of that in the Preferences. I'll try working with it off for a while. Maybe I'll like that better. Thanks!

Thank you, Peter. That is a pretty good work-around for now. There are only 3 measures in the entire piece (220 measures total). I tried this in the full score and it works. It does take a bit of t...

I moved the old preferences file com.makemusic.finale26.fprf out of ~/Library/Preferences and rebooted the computer and Lauched Finale. I keyed in all the notes from scratch and tried beaming acros...
Thank you for your prompt reply. Selecting just the last note of the 1st measure and the first note of the 2nd measure gives the same result -- it looks good when only Layer 2 is showing, but not w...
OK, I've got it the way it needs to be. Thanks for your help. A classically trained harpist would recognize this notation and play the lower stave with left hand, the first 4 notes with right hand,...
