Hi - I've just type set some 20th century music (not so surprising as I'm a moderate to pretty good finale user).
I came across a specific issue: composing for the harp.
In all cases, Finale handles harp notation perfectly well - except glissandi: where you need to be specific about the notes being played.
Take for example Debussy's wonderful prelude to the afternoon of a faune. Harp 1 has a couple of delicious glissandi in the first 20 bars. In my Eulenberg score the notes are spelled out nicely and notated as tiny notes (giving the indication to the intrepid harpist what Debussy intended).
My question is about how one "does this" in Finale (without actually resorting to typing the note names before the gliss).
