<p>Thanks, Jan and Chris. I think it was the reload that was needed. I'm getting the fermata now. I had to call FCArticulation::ResetPos() as well, as the fermata was appearing underneath the rest. Unfortunately there is this disclaimer in the documentation: "This method currently doesn't support the 'Center horizontally' option," and I want "center horizontally." I guess this is the equivalent of pressing Backspace in Finale? Perhaps I need to change the handle offsets in the fermata definition.</p>
