Finale Numerics font

The Finale Numerics font includes all the characters you need to create harmonic analysis and figured bass. Zero-width characters allow you to easily stack characters in three distinct levels from top to bottom, and regular characters allow for regular-size . Use the Lyrics tool to add your harmonic analysis or figured bass beneath the staff. For instructions, see Harmonic Analysis and Figured Bass.

Note that some of the characters in the Finale Numerics font are only accessible via Windows' Character Map utility, which displays all the available glyphs in a given font. Characters that require the use of the Character Map utility are listed in the table below by their Unicode code point ("U+nnnn").
