Leigh:
I didn't read the entire message before I sent my earlier response. I
am not well informed on issues related to the MAC OS, so it may be that
the interface on the MAC is designed differently so that there is no way
to set the number of previous files in the file menu on the MAC, and
that what the people at MakeMusic suggested--trashing your "Finale 2006
preferences" folder--is the only way to accomplish your goal. I
suspect, though that in using this method to clear the "previous files"
listing, you will presumably at the same time trash all of the other
values you have set that reside in the preferences folder, too, so that
you'll have to redo any changes you've made to defaults. It appears
that this is the generally accepted solution that MakeMusic recommends,
because Allen Fischer posted the equivalent for Windows boxes in this
thread..
To me, though, it sounds like an extreme solution. On the basis of the
file name, though, it appears to me, though, that trashing your "Finale
2006 preferences" folder in order to clear the previous files, is about
like using a 12-guage shotgun to kill a fly on the counter: it will do
the job, but also is likely to cause a significant amount of
unavoidable collateral damage in the process.
