Here’s another stupid question...

I have spent all night and all day today writing.  I know this is horrible, but I hadn’t saved my file yet.  I went to print out a draft copy, and Finale (FinMac2006) unexpectedly quit.  Is there anyplace this file might be saved as a backup (even in an earlier version)?!


Oh, man.

I feel bad for you, but I'm afraid you're out of luck.

In the future, save as soon as you create a new document, and keep hitting cmd-S as if you had a tic all through the music entry process, right up to the last thing you do before closing the document. Auto-save can help you out if you have bad saving habits (we JUST finished a long discussion about saving and backup tactics here on the list.)

If you are not a veteran of computers yet, this is good advice for ANY program, not just Finale.

Commiseratingly,

Christopher
