Hi Chuck,
We were just talking about this last week -- you must have missed it.
Hi Darcy,
Could have happened while I was away playing in Spain (always fun to be in that country).
The scuttlebutt from people at MM is that 2006 is pretty well defined already, and new fixes & things are being considered for 2007.
(I have asked for a Patterson Beam option to be "wired in" to the document options in order to avoid the necessity of running a plug in on every document, and there seemed to be some sympathy for that idea for 2007.)
I don't know this for sure, but I am inferring from noncommittal hints that one critical issue will be resolved for some of us - the Shift/command/C dialog will separate measure attached smart shapes from measure expressions. At least I have reason to hope for this.
Casual conversations with Gary Garritan and Tom Hopkins also indicated that MM is in the process of working on tighter integration with GPO, so there's hope there too. This particular bug is only a small annoyance anyway. It doesn't take me more than a few seconds at the start of my work day to fix it.
I will ask MM to look into this anyway, just to add another name to the list of requests.
Thanks,
Chuck
This is a Finale 2005 bug. The best thing to turn off "Save Preferences on Quit" (if it's on) and then set the MIDI Output to "None" and manually save your prefs. This will avoid triggering the "Device not found" dialog when you start Finale. You will still have to configure Finale's MIDI Setup manually each time, but for the moment, there's no way around that.Chuck Israels
If you want Coda to fix it in Fin2006, please drop them a note. (Believe it or not, this bug wasn't even written up until last week!)

I am experiencing a minor GPO issue: I start GPO before opening Finale (2005 Mac - OS X) but Finale says it cannot find the expected GPO Studio 1 through 4 that I have defined as Finale's MIDI out. In Finale's MIDI setup menu, the GPO studios are italicized, however, there are new, non-italicized listings there, and as soon as they are chosen, everything works as expected. This only takes a moment to correct, as I start Finale for the first time, but I'm wondering if I've overlooked something or have set something up incorrectly to produce this result.
Ideas?
Thanks,
Chuck
