Hello All,
I am completely new to Finale. I bought Finale 2007 just a couple
of days ago.
I would also recommend periodically checking in at the MakeMusic!
website; two or three times a year, there are maintenance upgrades
and patches released which you can download and apply. The
crashing problem you mention may be addressed by one of these.
Availability of these upgrades is usually, but not always,
mentioned by someone in this forum.
Though Noel gave a lot of excellent advice, I find myself
respectfully disagreeing with him here. 8-)
Upon installation (at least in the Mac version) you are asked if you
want to periodically check for updates. If you answered yes, and your
computer is connected to the Internet constantly as many are these
days, then you will be informed when there is an available update
when you start up Finale.
If for some reason you weren't asked, or you don't remember
answering, go into the Help menu of Finale and select "Check for
Finale updates..." After the computer checks for you, it will show
you a Settings button. Click this button to check or change whether
Finale automatically looks for updates, and how often.
BTW, about .BAK files: I have a second hard drive, and on it I made a
folder called Finale .BAK files. I specified THIS folder for my
backups in Preferences, so that when (notice I said "when" and not
"if") my hard drive dies, I will have preserved the latest backup
regardless.
