Great! If you're using finale, you don't have to copy them - with the default settings it will do the abbreviations automatically for you.

Sibelius does that too, but I don't like the way it looks.
I don't know German very well yet. I'll eventually write all the musical terms in this language though. For now, I either choose French or English even though I sometimes go multilingual as well which is obviously wrong and I thank you for pointing that out (this happens mostly from instinct)! When there aren't many music terms used, but there are a few cresc. dim. rit. indications I write those other few terms in Italian. I do have a preference to write the tempo markings either in French or English and it'll take me some time to get used to writing them in German... I like the way some French words sound (like lent or tranquille) and that's why I prefer to use it instead of Italian or English. Whenever I choose English, it's because they are more understandable for most people.
As you can see I am kind of undecided concerning what language to use...
