My system: G4 PowerMac (500 MHz, AGP graphics, 832 MB RAM) OS 9.2.2 & 10.3.4 (Panther) -- my hard disk is not partitioned
This problem is about Finale 2004c in Panther.
I just bought Finale 2004 and updated to 2004c for EPS export. However, EPS export is very slow. This is what happens when I try to export a single page from various files. All exports include Pict preview and all fonts:
1. Orchestral piece, tabloid size, 34 staves (1 system): spinning eighth note for 2'08", then 2" of the EPS window showing exactly what is being processed on the page. TOTAL TIME: 2'10".
2. Same piece, different page, 29 staves: spinning eighth note for 1', then 2" of the EPS process window. TOTAL TIME: 1'02".
3. Chamber piece for four instruments, letter size, 12 staves (3 systems): spinning eighth note for 24", then 2" of the EPS process window. TOTAL TIME: 26".
4. Chamber piece for two instruments (tuba/pno), letter size, 9 staves (3 systems): spinning eighth note for 8", then 2" of the EPS process window. TOTAL TIME: 10".
5. Test chamber piece for two instruments (fl/pno), letter size, 3 staves (1 system), created in Finale 2004c: no spinning eighth note, EPS process box for 2". TOTAL TIME: 2".
#1 - 4 export in less than 6" under Finale 2002 (OS 9.2.2). Under OS X, these times for all but the test piece are terrible. Is there something wrong with my system, or is it Finale 2004c?
Thank you.
