The Enharmonic Flip bug in Speedy Entry is DEFINITELY NOT fixed!
Hitting the 9 in Speedy still causes all kinds of problems down the
line.
I only recently read about this, and I can't be more freaked,
because I use
the 9 flip extensively to respell individual notes in every score.
It's my
default method to enter doubled unisons as well. I'm talking about
all the
scores I've done in Finale 2007, including all my WAAM scores
(nearly fifty
of them) and several big ones for clients.
Can you refer me back to a post that details this problem, and if
there's
any after-the-fact fix?
I pretty much laid it out there in my message. The only ways around
it are:
1) Use Simple Entry. Everyone at MM uses it instead of Speedy,
apparently, because the tech guy couldn't even find the bug when he
used Simple. I had to explain to him that it was a Speedy bug.
2) Set your Enharmonic Spellings to be the way you want them as you
enter, so that you never ever hit 9. I found a better way, for G#
(when Enharmonics are set to spell it as Ab) enter G and hit + to
make it G#. It's only ONE extra keystroke, and it doesn't incur the bug.
It doesn't always hit, but sometimes notes flip spellings while you
are working on ANOTHER staff! Very odd!
