Hi Christopher, A couple of weeks ago, Margot and I spent two days visiting Andy and Francine Homzy in their home on Protection Island — a 10 minute ferry ride from Nanaimo, 400 homes in the woods, no cars, no stores - but city sewage, water and electricity. don’t think I want to live there, but their home is lovely, and it is peaceful. They love being there.
If you have moment to check something for me, I’ve discovered what I think is a bug in Finale, and I’m not sure if turns up everywhere, or only in some files. If you have a document with a pickup measure (in my case, an 8th note pickup), the election tool gets confuse by that when attempting to place clef changes. Removing the pickup removes the confusion and clefs can be correctly placed. Replacing the pickup measure after placing the clef changes doesn’t disturb them. Thanks — Margot and I send our fond regards, Chuck > On Aug 20, 2018, at 5:25 AM, Christopher Smith > <christopher.sm...@videotron.ca> wrote: > > Hi Chuck, > > Thanks for the test. > > As it turned out, there was more to the story.
