Hi Jari I'm comparing this to 2001d mac, the last version we used prior to 2005. We couldn't progress beyond 2001 until 2005 because of EPS export issues and OSx compatibility. Anyway, in 2001 and before copied tablature pasted in place correctly. In the case of tablature there is no argument for wanting it to be done any other way. > Anyway, it's pretty easy to correct the mistakes made by the > tab-to-tab Mass Copy, either by using "MassEdit/Utilities/Change > Lowest Fret" for a region, or use arrow keys in Simple Entry to move > the wrong fret numbers to the correct string. It really isn't easy, it's horribly time consuming. You can only assume that If you're thinking that all guitar parts stay in "one hand position" what if the player is "flying up and down the fretboard". We do a lot of advanced rock and jazz and the situation as it stands is awful. I emailed and telephoned MusicMaker about this and they confirmed it's in their bug database. I half hoped someone would tell me there was a deeply buried "paste all tab into open position" option somewhere that I hadn't discovered! > I'm not saying the current behaviour is the ideal behaviour. Agreed! Obviously we're all looking out for the problems that affect us as individuals, and all bugs are relative to your own needs and personal circumstances. As such, this is without a doubt public enemy number 1 as far as we are concerned. -- Simon Troup Digital Music Art ------------------------- Finale IRC channel server: irc.chatspike.net port: 6667 channel: #Finale ------------------------- _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [email protected] http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
