What does this symbol mean |O| ? It appears in notation for a chanted psalm. Is there a way to insert this symbol using Finale v 26?

    Do you have a picture of it? It sounds like it's just a double whole note which you can insert like you do other notes you just have to select that duration: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_whole_note

The symbol is called a double whole note or breve and is double the length of a whole-note (i.e., eight beats in 4/4 time).

In Finale, a double whole note can be entered using ALT+8. See the below image from the manual.
