To create pitched slashes (note-by-note method)

1. Create the part on a single staff. For each note that’s going to be a slash, enter a normal note.
2. Click the Special Tools Tool  , and click the first measure you want to contain slashes.
3. Click the Note Shape Tool   . Double-click the handle of the first notehead you want to be a slash. Finale displays a palette containing every symbol in the Maestro music font.
4. Double-click the slash. You actually have a choice of two slashes; the smaller one (slot #33) usually looks best. (The larger one is slot #243.) You return to the document, where the note now has a slash instead of a notehead.
5. Repeat the process with the other slashed notes. If the stems don’t connect with the notehead correctly, this can be adjusted for each character you use as a notehead. See Stem Connection Editor dialog box for details.
