Hi Chuck,
First off, I should say how sorry I was to have missed you when you
were in town in July. I'm afraid I ended up being totally jammed up
without a moment to spare. Next time, I hope!
That is *terrible* news about TGTools and Fin2010. I haven't even
installed that version yet, I've been waiting for the maintenance
update -- but without the ability to transfer layout via TGTools, I'm
not sure it's even worth putting on my machine.
Unfortunately, Tobias seems to have more or less abandoned TGTools at
this point -- it's been an incredibly long time since even the most
minor update, and while he's not answered any of my recent emails, he
seems disinclined to keep the software up to date. Obviously, this is
a huge problem for those of us that have come to rely on it. I suppose
the only thing to do is for us to keep being a pest to him, until such
time as he either starts working on the software again, or makes some
kind of formal statement that TGTools has been discontinued (which it
effectively has, it seems).
Cheers,
- Darcy

Dear Darcy,
Thanks for the copy of the email to Tobias. I have written him
twice, encouraging him to get the plugins updated for 2010 (copy/
paste layout does not work, and you can imagine the need for that
with linked parts). I don't want to become a pest to him, so it
would help if he were to hear from others.
Fond regards,
Chuck

Hi Tobias (and Finale list -- I've CC'd them too),
Today I was teaching a lesson to a Finale student, trying to
encourage him to purchase TGTools by demonstrating the utility of
the Align-Move hotkeys, but for some reason they would not work on
his machine (a recent-model MacBook Pro). I realized that his
keyboard lacked the "NumLock" option historically found on Mac
Portables -- so there is no way of accessing the "Numpad *",
"Numpad +" and "Numpad -" required for TGTools shortcuts.
Please add alternative keystrokes for these shortcuts ASAP! It's
frustrating that Apple has eliminated this option on their portable
computers, but now that they have, we desperately need new TGTools
shortcuts that don't depend on being able to simulate Numpad
keystrokes on a laptop keyboard.
Cheers,
- Darcy
