Argh! I do most of my work on the Mac, and thanks to Darcy I just turned the status bar OFF to get a significant speed increase! I suppose I'll have to create a QuicKey to turn the status bar on & off, so it'll stay off unless I want it there. It would be really nice to have a right-click option (or shift-double-click, like individual expressions) to allow me to *type in* the offsets rather than drag it around. -- Brad Beyenhof [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
