Finale 2010 is now available! In spite of all that’s outlined below, Finale still has not made pedal markings easy! It’s my one complaint against the program. Why can’t someone create a function that will allow me to double click when the pedal starts, single click when there is a lift and depression, and then double click again when the pedal lifts? Seems easy to me!
