I've only experienced it when entering notes in a non-treble clef. Speedy reads the cursor position as if it is in a treble staff, but then writes the note to where it belongs in the actual staff -- thus the octave and a sixth different when entering in a bass clef. Try the same thing on a different non-treble clef and you'll get a different offset. Occurrence of this error is linked to how you enter the frame. I don't remember the exact details (which I once worked out, by systematic experimentation), but if you always move to the next measure using the arrow instead of the bracket, you can mostly avoid it -- not that that's much of an answer, of course. Once in the measure, any arrow key will clear the problem, but using bracket to advance to the next measure can bring it back. Evidently this bug only occurs under certain unusual circumstances in the overall environment, which is why only a few of us have experienced it (all on older Macs, I believe). But for those of us who do get it, it's very consistent and easy to replicate. If it seems like you're experiencing it intermittently, it's probably because you are variable in your use of the numerous ways of Speedy navigation. But with the same keystrokes and in the same clef, the result will be the same. I was one of the first to report it to tech support, and at the time they couldn't duplicate the error. I was glad when I heard they finally acknowledged it as a known bug. Definitely needs to be fixed. mdl _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
