Re: [Finale] upgrade info
Expect your OS to significantly slow down on 10.9. But no problems with 2014. Actually, a few crashes. I run it without any other apps.open, sometimes I need the inst. manual going in Safari.

Re: [Finale] upgrade info
No, 10.9.2 doesn't significantly slow down anything. In fact, things generally seem a little snappier on my 2008 MacPro. I think some of that is due to the memory compression. Best thing one should do upgrading from 10.6 is to do a complete new install on a new drive, and then use the migration assistant to transfer over your applications and stuff.

[Finale] Speedy Entry in Finale Mac 2012 with MIDI Thru turned off
I'm having some major problems with Finale Mac 2012 using Speedy Entry with MIDI Thru turned off. It seems that unless MIDI Thru is turned on, the program randomly crashes, and I usually have to click twice on a measure to bring up the Speedy Entry frame. This sometimes ends up deleting whatever entries were previously in the frame. I really don't want to turn MIDI Thru on because I work in transposed scores, and the notes that sound when I enter them using a MIDI keyboard in Speedy sound in concert pitch, which is very confusing to my ear. Is there a setting somewhere that will enable me to work in Speedy in Finale 2012 with MIDI Thru turned off without the program exhibiting this unstable behavior? Thanks in advance for any help you can provide. -Brian Williams ___ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu https://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale To unsubscribe from finale send a message to: finale-unsubscr...@shsu.edu
Re: [Finale] Speedy Entry in Finale Mac 2012 with MIDI Thru turned off
It doesn't matter which MIDI channel you select for Midi thru, so select one you aren't using for Midi input and you'll be fine.

I wholeheartedly agree with Eric on this one, provided one's situation allows it. I have 12 core MacPro that I just got before the 'new' MacPros came out, and with 4 drive bays, I was able to do a clean install of Mav, migrate my user account etc., and it still gives me the option of going back to ML, which I do most of the time right now. To be honest, I am not at all impressed with 10.9; Apple's sloppiest OS transition to date IMO. Mail still doesn't work right and the main reason I wanted to try it out was multiple monitor support, which is OK, but some applications, like Apple Mail, refuses to remember window positions regarding a 2nd monitor. Those who use iMacs and laptops won't find this method quite as easy unless going with external drives. That's one of the reasons prefer the old MacPros. As far as Finale is concerned, it seems OK, but then I still do 99% of my work in ML, so take that with a caveat as it was intended. For those of us with Apple Cinema displays, there is a bug in update 2014a that occurs on startup that has no current workaround. MM recommended I go back to 2014, which I did.
