Jari's info might be the correct answer in your case but I have had the same problems due to corrupt pref. file many times only in 2012. The deleting speedy notes is a big sign that it is a corrupt pref file. The size of the file is not a factor in these cases. I've had it happen to an empty default file all the way up to large orchestral files. When the corrupt pref file happens it doesn't show the same problem every time you open a file. One time it might be deleting speedy notes, another time it might not hold program options, another it might not copy all of the notes, and another (just happened last week) it might not copy lyrics correctly. This makes it hard to let MM know where the problem lies since we have nothing to point to for them to fix. It's just a global preference corruption issue that will be difficult to fix. This is similar to the virtual stuck key issue...everyone seems to have a different key that sticks and no one knows what triggers it.
>i don't encounter this problem when opening a new default file >though, so i doubt it is a corrput prefs file... That's pretty typical with this issue. It may react differently to different files in the same session. If you have the speedy notes disappear in a file, then you open the default file and see that it doesn't happen, then go back to the original file you will see the speedy issue again, but just in this file. This is very common with this bug. The problem that you are encountering may not happen with every file you have opened in a session. This is why it's easy to blame the file but as you dig deeper into this problem you will find that the pref. file has been corrupt. I've let MM know about this but not sure there is anything they can do about it. Even a restart of the program or your machine will not fix the issue which is another sign that it's a pref issue. You have to throw away the pref file. Once you throw that away the problem disappears. I have been troubleshooting this issue for some time now and that is the only consistent fix that I've found.

I've had this happen before. It was a corrupt preference file. >Most common problem in FIN12. _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [email protected] http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [email protected] http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
