![]() When installing Finale v27, you will be asked whether you want to uninstall any previous installations of Finale (see below). Here are the top 10 tips to help you harness the powerful new features included in Finale v27: 1. Even in full Finale, editing the chord suffixes to default to triangles and minus signs when entering chords via MIDI keyboard takes a bit of doing (in my experience).With the release of Finale v27, you have more options to create music your way than ever before. If someone can make you a template using the Jazz fonts (and if those fonts exist on your system) you may be able to use Peter's chart to help you assign the Jazz-specific suffixes, but without access to the Chord Edit screens, this will likely be very troublesome compared to using full Finale. Changing the chord font to Jazz Text does not give you access to the triangle and minus suffixes. I can access the Jazz Cord font and assign it to chords, but that may only be because the font came to me with my full Finale package. Entering a chord letter followed by a colon and zero takes you to the suffix-selection screen, but not if you change the Chord Font to Jazz Cord. Nor can one (it appears) edit chord suffixes. All its handwritten options appear to use Broadway Copyist. PM does not appear to have a handwritten template or document style option that includes Jazz fonts.I just took a quick look at PM 2014 and have what I expect is bad news for you. enter -7 by typing a - followed by a 7, then you should use the JazzText font instead of the JazzCord font.

Thanks!ġ) Chord suffixes are document specific, not program specific. If the shortcuts exist that show me the exact chord symbols I want then I have to believe there is a way to make them stick. Is there any way to override this feature? Or to add the Jazz symbols into my suffix library? I know there was a way to do it in the full version of Finale, and I'm hoping there's a way here too. I even found a way to set the chord font to jazzcord and have keyboard shortcuts that give me what I want, but as soon as a try to continue on with another chord, the dialogue box comes up saying that it doesn't recognize the suffix and I either have to choose a longhand suffix or lose it.
