And - one further suggestion: since the preference file is often
either a culprit, or becomes corrupted in Finale crashes, make a copy
or two of this file so that you needn't reconstruct your preferences
when a preference file related crash happens.
I have not had this problem on my G5 Power PC since migrating to
2009. MM says that resizing the tool pallet causes crashes (it's a
cumulative process - doesn't happen right away) so I have learned to
live with the pallet in its default configuration, and that has cured
the problem here.

Michael,
I've had that problem occasionally. What works best for me on iMac
G4 Deal, System 10.4 is to put the Finale Preferences file in the
Finale Folder that contains the application and to make sure that it
(or a copy) does no reside in any other location. I've done this
because I still have Finale 2008 and use it from time to time. I
keep 2008's preference file in with the 2008 application as well so
that there's no confusion for the computer.
Good luck.

Hello all,
I just updated Finale 2009 to 2009b on my Powerbook (I haven't used
Finale on the Powerbook for several months). Now Finale crashes on
launch: I see the splash screen, I see all the mesages that tell me
stuff is loading, the spash screen disappears and then Finale
quits. I've already tried trashing the Finale Preferences file and
the plist file. Here's what the console says:
sh: -c: line 1: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `''
sh: -c: line 2: syntax error: unexpected end of file
sh: -c: line 1: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `''

This is on a PowerBook G4 running 10.4.11
Do any Mac wizards on the list have any ideas? Thanks,
