Hi Darcy, No, I thought this was an issue related to Finale not being the"front" app, so I clicked on the Finale icon in the dock - the usual solution for the runaway playback problem. I will try this - but perhaps others have found similar horizontal navigation problems with 2014 (nothing like this ever occurred in 2012) where clicking in the horizontal scroll bar on either side of the location indicator (don't know what to call that gray thing) results in an uncontrollable jump beyond one window's worth of territory and then clicking on the other side results in the same erratic behavior in the other direction, making it maddeningly difficult to get to any location one window on either side of the location on which you are working. Similar behavior also sometimes happens using the SmartScroll app (a handy app that allows horizontal scrolling one measure at a time using Command/Option or Command/Control). In this case, Finale 2014 jumps two or more measures instead of one. If I am remembering this correctly, it happens only after Finale has been open for a while. I am working on transcribing and arranging music that requires that both Preview and Transcribe apps are open at the same time as Finale. I don't remember whether I have encountered this when only Finale is open. Anyway, your ideas are always helpful, so any light you can shed will be appreciated. Meanwhile, I'll try the white space menu bar click to see if that works. Thank you, Darcy.
