Much of my work involves transcribing manuscripts and evolving "modern" editions with updated instrumentations. The result has been a "freeze" of FINALE to the point of needing a re-start to get out of FINALE. I've lost months of valuable time due to this.
I've been writing to the list about these recently. MAKEMUSIC support has been helpful, though the most recent correction has involved a "clean" re-install of FINALE. The process is not for the timid and requires nearly an hour to complete. I know that I run a complex setup, and I stress the app terribly. I suspect VISTA is also part of the problem. One result of my experience may be new install procedures. For the re-install I had to use the Device Manager to disable all but a few apps in my account. I hope this info is usefull to the list. I suspect we may have more such issues as our hardware and software evolve.
