Brennon,
Try actually selecting the Update Layout menu item. Your symptoms are
100% consistent with a failure to update the layout.
Cheers,

Mike,
I've been trying Command-/ and Command-\ (which both
seem to be a shortcut for "Show Multiple Pages") as
well as Command-D for Update Layout.
I'm not at that computer now, but I'll try what
you've suggested in an hour or so. I appreciate the
idea, but I'm afraid this isn't the problem either.
If there was an enourmous amount of space between
staves, wouldn't this give me even more pages than I
expect, instead of only one?
As this is a composition that I have to have to
performers by Monday, I need to find a solution on
very short order. I have a huge number of
expressions to place and notes to place in the
score--you know how new music goes. I guess I could
do this in Scroll View and just wait to find a
solution, but I'm wondering if there's a better way
to go about this. What would happen if I just
copied everything into a blank document? I have no
libraries loaded that aren't already in my default
document. I do have a few custom shapes that I've
created, however. Is this all that I will lose?
Obviously, page formatting isn't an issue, as I
haven't been able to operate in Page View yet. Any
thoughts?
Thanks again,

Hi Brennon --
On the offchance that something got messed up
accidentally -- like a
huge number in the "space between systems" area
of the Edit System
Margins window -- here's what I would try:
Open the Edit System Margins window in Page
Layout. Put 0 in the
"Space Between Systems" box, then enter From
system 1 through 0,
which will select all systems. Click "Apply" and
see what happens.
Frankly, I don't think this is the problem, but
at least it's
something else to try.
And also, see Chris's reply about the key command
for Update Layout.
Maybe you've been pressing the wrong thing?

That's the command to show multiple pages on
one screen in page
view. The problem is, Finale doesn't think
there are multiple
pages to display, so it's only showing me
one--regardless of
whether I've chosen to show multiple pages or
not. Still nothing.

Hello list,
I've entered a bunch of music in scroll
view, and then switched
to page view. There should be around 25
pages of music, or so.
But, when I switched to Page view, only 13
were available. I
removed optimization--no help. I removed
system locks--
nothing. I redefined all pages. After doing
so, now only the
first page of music is available. When I do
something crazy,
like use Fit Music to fit 99 measures to a
system, I do in fact
see 99 measures on the first page. I know
the music is there,
but I can't seem to get to it. I've tried
update layout several
times. Changed update layout settings to
remove system locks
and reflow--nothing. When I go into system
margins, the
reported space needed for an additional
system is zero, which
leads me to believe that Finale thinks it
doesn't have another
system to fit. Tried to use Space Systems
Evenly to force a
second system on the first page. Trashed
preferences (both
"Finale 2006 Preferences" and
com.MakeMusic.Finale.plist in the
Users/Library/Preferences folder). I can
successfully insert a
blank page after the first and view it.
Can't get to any other
pages by either clicking the arrows at the
bottom of the screen
or by typing in a page number. Inserting a
blank staff system
after the first does nothing (I'm assuming
the system was
inserted...I just can't see it.) Resizing
all staff systems
down to 15% still shows only one system on
the first page.
Using FinMac2006d. I'd appreciate any ideas.
In page layout you need to update the layout
to show the added
pages. On windows machines, that's ctrl-u but
I'm not sure what
it is on a mac.
on Mac it's command-\
But he said he updated layout already, several
times.
Whenever Finale starts behaving unexpectedly
like this, it's a
good time to quit, logout and log back in
again. A couple of times
I've needed to restart, but logout and in
seems to solve a lot of
flakiness. Let us know how this works.
Christopher
