[Finale] How do I 'Save' my last screen image when shutting down?
Hi everyone, I am running Finale 2010 on Snow Leopard and although I have carefully studied the 'help' files I cannot re-open Finale commencing with my final screen setting on shut down. Am I able to make this a 'preference' ? I am sure I will be able to do so with the right advice because it is too logical a requirement, not to be possible. I will greatly appreciate help on this.

What do you mean final screen setting? You can, in Preferences, tell it a lot of things but it's not going to remember your final screen settings -- Eric Dannewitz Musician/Polymath/Evil Genius http://www.gplus.to/ericdano On Tuesday, July 26, 2011 at 11:16 AM, Malcolm Steele wrote: Hi everyone, I am running Finale 2010 on Snow Leopard and although I have carefully studied the 'help' files I cannot re-open Finale commencing with my final screen setting on shut down.

That is said to be a new feature in OS 10.7, if I read it correctly. Which implies that it was not possible previously. John -- John R. Howell, Assoc.

Re: [Finale] OS X Lion
Hi Justin, One thing you might add to the OS X Lion compatibility page is that there is now a UI issue with the Time Signature dialog box. With the elimination of clickable scroll arrows, the Number of Beats and Beat Duration slider must now be dragged. (I find this a bit annoying as dragging the slider by just one position can be finicky.) Otherwise (knock on wood) no problems with Fin2011 + Lion so far. Of course, Fin2011 isn't Lion-native so it doesn't support 10.7's incremental auto-save or resume features -- you might also want to mention that on your info page. http://ht.ly/5NU1u Cheers, - DJA - WEB: http://www.secretsocietymusic.org On 20 Jul 2011, at 1:37 PM, Phillips, Justin wrote: Here's our findings: http://makemusic.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/4448/ -Original Message- From: finale-boun...@shsu.edu [mailto:finale-boun...@shsu.edu] On Behalf Of Darcy James Argue Sent: Wednesday, July 20, 2011 11:55 AM To: finale@shsu.edu Subject: [Finale] OS X Lion Hi all, So, anyone try installing the new OS yet?

Re: [Finale] OS X Lion
I find that if I click in the space next to the Number of Beats slider, it moves by one position, increasing or decreasing the number of beats by one. It gets a bit tricky to hit the space when decreasing from three to two beats: in this case, I find it quicker to move the slider left to the one beat position, then click once to the right of it.

[Finale] Last screen image and now - a font problem in Lion

However: I have had a font problem in the switch to Lion, but I think it is not likely to be applicable to others. When I first started using Bill Duncan fonts, I installed two fonts called B Times Bold and BI Times BoldItalic (probably just Bill's versions of Times Bold). I use them in all my Finale Files. Later, Bill updated the fonts, and the newer ones are called BTimesBold and BTimesBoldItalic (no spaces). Older documents have some of each version (I know - sloppy, on my part). In earlier versions of OS X, Finale would find the older version of the font and (usually) replace it with the newer, correctly displaying one. In Lion, Finale can no longer find the older font, so I have to edit each expression or text block and replace the wrong font with the correct one. (The Finale font list shows the older font as being missing, even though I have made sure that the old version is in my font library). OK, that's tedious, but, if I use the Data Check font utility to try to replace things in the file globally, font hell breaks loose. My sense of this that Finale cannot find the offending font (the one that Finale's font list shows as missing) and it therefor scrambles and misplaces all kinds of font information/locations. This is from a non-programmer's mind - it's just my impression, and I may be far off base. In any case, if anyone has a way to understand this and fix it, I could use some help. Otherwise, every time I open a file in Lion, I will have to update a bunch of expressions and some text blocks.

To be clear -- this Resume feature does not work (yet) in Finale, or any other application that has not been updated to take advantage of it. One helpful tip I found to temporarily disable the feature is to use opt-cmd-Q to quit, in case you want to start fresh next time. Chuck, regarding your font problem, there is a FinaleScript batch find/replace font solution, but I'll have to leave it to the FinaleScript experts on the list walk you through that.

Re: [Finale] Last screen image and now - a font problem in Lion
Thanks, Darcy. There is someone here in Seattle (Robert Puff) who is a good guy and can help with this. He already sent a script, but I probably need to be walked through the process once or twice, and I think he will help with that. If that is the solution, and it can be applied to multiple files at one time, then this is only a minor annoyance.
