This has been a known bug in Finale for years, and I have been bitching about it at least that long. Somehow, meta tool settings or something gets munged and no matter what expression you try to enter, you always get the same one. For me, it’s the last expression I entered, whatever it was. I have been around this muck with tech support many, many times, and I did finally get them to admit they were aware of the problem. But that was it.
It used to be that you could quit and reboot Finale and that fixed it. Then it started requiring a complete Mac reboot. The last time it happened to me that is what it took. In earlier versions of Finale I was able to fix it by first making sure I was saved, and then I ran my hands flat over the keys horizontally several times, hitting every key. When I then tried to enter an expression, it worked. But this was back in 2012, 2014, and maybe 2014.5. I haven’t had it happen in v25, the latest…yet. I do also recall that the last time it happen, this trick didn’t work. But I don’t recall what version I was in at the time. *************************** J D Thomas ThomaStudios > On Jun 14, 2017, at 8:26 AM, Barbara Touburg <[email protected]> wrote: > > Suddenly, double-clicking above the staff to add a tempo mark results in > the placement of a forte sign.
