This is a bug, no doubt. Do report it to MakeMusic. One thing: I find
that I can make the message bar disappear again by choosing "Show
Message Bar", then choosing "Hide Message Bar", which avoids the hassle
of re-starting Finale. Does this work for you?

Dear List,
I'm using Finale 2006d on a Mac PowerBook running OS 10.4.5 and I'm
having
trouble keeping the message bar hidden after switching to Studio View.
I
have "Hide Message Bar" selected in the View menu, and it stays
temporarily
hidden until I select a different tool from the tool bar. Then the
message
bar appears with text telling me what the newly-selected tool is and
does.
If I force a redraw, it disappears, but if I scroll up the page the
message
bar moves with the music, appearing in the middle of the screen. Once
Studio
View is entered, it doesn't matter if I switch back to Scroll or Page
View,
the only way to get rid of the message bar is to quit Finale and
restart
without going into Studio View.
Is there some way to keep the message bar consistently hidden after
switching to Studio View?
Brian
