To solve problem 2, in the Speedy Entry menu, uncheck the Fill Measure With Rests option. Problem 1 has always worked as it used to for you, in speedy entry, so I'm not sure what to say about that.

Depending on what entry method you're using, look at Simple | Options or Speedy | Options. Uncheck 'Fill with rests at end of measure'.

We don't know how to get rid of it, however, other than turning off HP or removing the offending item. This is only a guess. Could you have a file that is only for playback purposes?

[Finale] Deadly component in old files
I have come to believe that a successful updating of an old file requires the deletion of any measure or note-attached fermatas. Fermatas attached as articulations seem to be OK. Also, they should be removed via the table of measure items. I have not tried this yet in 2009. Almost all of the "fatal" files I've had have this problem.

Thanks for the clarifications. Yes, I had used Windows V1 (for 4 hours before I deleted it) before I got a Macintosh. I never used OS/2 V1 and forgot completely about that. I first used V2. ___ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
