OK, I have found a trick that works well: I activate Automatic Update Layout. I simply switch from within Speedy (with the cursor frame in an active state) directly to another tool (i.e. Clef Tool), then switch directly back to Speedy. This takes one second. I do have to go back to the mouse to select a frame to work on again, but the Update Layout function works like lightning: probably only on that page. I am imagining Finale is circumventing a longer subroutine which would normally go through the entire file from the current page to the end.
And it didn't cost me anything. :-) Liudas ----- Original Message ----- From: David H.
