NOTATIO

Very true

Until the most recent release of Finale 26.2.1.464 for Mac, I successfully used November2 in many of my scores. I had access to all glyphs and never had a problem. After reading your comment above, I opened some of my scores that utilize November2, and they are a mess.

Regarding the URTEXT fonts I mentioned earlier, the biggest problem I am having is an inability to access the alla breve symbol -- Finale shows the D.S. symbol instead. I still have not found a solution. This is all very frustrating, and I am wondering if the whole issue isn't an unknown bug with Finale vs. OS X Catalina.

Thanks to all for the comments and info.

Luckily, I'm beyond all that now. I'm very happily using Abraham Lee's MTF-Cadence in Dorico.

You are correct about November2, benwiggy. As I posted previously, I have used November2 for years successfully on a Mac. After your post (and the most recent update to Finale) I checked some of my scores that use it, and it was no longer working. After removing it from the MacSymbolFonts.txt list, it is working perfectly again. Thanks for the tip!
