> Hello All, > > I would like to ask two things. > First, something happened which really scares me. I wrote a little exercise some days ago. When I tried to open it this morning, I got the following message: > ' C:/Documents and Settings/Will/Desktop/MUS/ex21.MUS appears to be corrput; attempting to continue, but resulting document may be unstable. Data error (cyclic redundancy check).' > I cannot open this ex.21 anymore. I do not care about this exercise, but I have one file which is serious work and I would absolutely hate to lose it. What can I do? Is there a way to protect myself this from happening? Do I need to make backups and store them somewhere else? How do you anticipate such things? > Second, I am writing a piece (on three staves). For the moment it is in 4/4 all the way. It's basically a double canon. Suppose that I want to interrupt the flow at some point. I would like the whole texture to go forward three beats, so that I can write something else there. Is there an easy way of doing this (in simple entry)? > Thank you for reading and with best regards, Will (Finale 2007 and Windows XP) > The first things I would do would be making frequent backups of your works on another harddisk or on CD/DVD and not saving your works in C:\ drive which is the one who hosts the whole operative system. C: is frequently "rewritten" by Windows tasks and should host only the operative system and applications that absolutely require to be installed in that partition (this depends on installation requirements). That is to avoid that, in case of C: crash, you can install back the OS without losing your works. (The better thuing would be to make an image of a working C: partition on a DVD, so even you have to format C:, after you can simply copy your image on C: without losing your settings). This obviously works if you have previously created a dedicated partition of your hard disk for the operative system (which has to be C:) and then one or more partitions to store programs and works. A program like Partition Magic could help you. _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [email protected] http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
