Very sensical points. In retrospect, a highly intuitive person
*might* have made the following observation in my experience, that
the fact that the setting returned itself to the Allow Optimization
Only If All Staves Are Empty setting, after it clearly had been
changed to Allow Optimization Normally during the previous visit to
that dialog box, was a "sign" that some sort of overriding state was
at play, the first (well, second, right after "This &^$ thing ain't
workin' right!") logical explanation being that it already was
optimized. Whew--that would be a heck of a deduction.
I'm with David, that Finale could help out a bit by providing a way
to know for sure, with*out* regard to appearances, that optimization
was in effect. But, it's one of those things about Finale that you
tuck away and hope for heck that you remember it if it ever rears up
again.
