Re: [Finale] Layout bug

2012-11-30 Thread SN jef chippewa 

m, yeah i had something like that once, can't remember on which 
file, but it did have something to do with the last system (or 
measure, not sure), as far as i could tell.  as i recall i never 
found a "permanent" solution.

i wondered at the time if it was an upgrade glitch.  i believe it 
would have been when i was using F2010...

sorry, no help really, just more mystery.

Hi Dennis,

Hmm. Puzzling!

What happens if you fix the layout after running Update Layout (so it once 
again looks like your first example), re-lock the systems, and run Update 
Layout again?

Also, are your MM rests set to Update Automatically? What happens if you turn 
that off?

Cheers,

May be something about that multi-measure rest. An experiment to try would
be to make it fewer measures and see if that changes things. Not that it
would make a solution obvious but it may narrow down the problem.
