I've never used it, and I'm such a "Speedy" touch-typist that it would set me back for months if not years. >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. But I compose into Finale, meaning snippets here and there get copied, transposed, respelled, canonized, hand-flipped, etc. -- such as in the score I just finished, a five-minute piece for large orchestra. Now I've gone back through that score and found not a single error in all that flipping -- no changes elsewhere, either. I will be extracting parts and perhaps creating a transposed score (if the conductor prefers that; he's out of the country at the moment). Will I see this error in the both of those? Does this affect both Mac and Windows versions? Is it consistent? Will copying the entire score into a new score fix it?
