http://maltedmedia.com/images/finale/_wx-207x.pdf http://maltedmedia.com/images/finale/_wx-208x.pdf No guesses on how to fix it? Me neither. Time for brute force. I worked backwards, looking for the last symbol that wasn't affected by the dashes -- the enclosed measure 37 marking. Because the score's measures aren't synchronized between parts, the measure markings are all placed as expressions. I removed the expression and recompiled the Postscript and the error was gone. I put it back in (from a new version) and the error returned. So instead of placing it again as a measure expression, I placed it as a note expression. No dashed-line errors. Instead, the dashed lines now reappeared on page 23. I removed a measure expression and replaced it with a score expression; problem gone. But now the dashed lines reappeared once again, on page 28! This time, there were no clues. I removed the last elements I had added, one by one. This time, it was a dashed-line smart shape; no matter where I put it, the entire page compiled with those dashed lines everywhere. So for this draft anyway, I just used a solid line. Total lost time: three hours. Long enough to miss the outgoing mail for the day. I'm tellin ya, Finale is a house of cards weaker by the year. 9-flip enharmonics are crashing, hyphens are crashing and, of course, the match between on-screen graphics display and their Postscript compilation is still not exact, even at the highest magnifications. Now this. Makes me crazy. Dennis _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [email protected] http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
