You’re right- the 1983 quote is “never trust those city-named fonts” alluding to the old Mac system fonts. > On Aug 7, 2019, at 8:47 PM, Robert Patterson > wrote: > > I actually the problem is the opposite of what you stated.

Re: [Finale] Lyric window does not show entire lyric
I actually the problem is the opposite of what you stated. I believe that certain fonts see the problem whereas more mainstream fonts don't. For example, neither Times nor Helvetica/Arial see the problem but New York does. New York is a fairly obscure font, but it happens to be the one I use. I would not say the problem is solved. But at least the steps to reproduce it have been refined and narrowed. On Wed, Aug 7, 2019 at 7:16 PM David H.

For those on this thread who have experienced this problem, I thought you might like to know that it depends which font you use as to whether you see the problem. I'm glad they've solved the problem, however it seems to me it's pretty poor programming when what is visible depends on the font. I can understand a character-count limit, or a line limit, but to not function properly with any font other than Times seems like somebody in the development team dropped the ball.

Now I understand why they were unable to reproduce the problem when I submitted it a year ago. They must have overruled my font setttings...

Re: [Finale] Lyric window does not show entire lyric
I have been following up on this with Makemusic. It turns out that if I change the font of my Lyrics to Times then I can see the entire block. For those on this thread who have experienced this problem, I thought you might like to know that it depends which font you use as to whether you see the problem.

Re: [Finale] Lyric window does not show entire lyric
Sure. Instead of laying the words out as in a poem. Turn it into a paragraph. At the very least it prevents one from bumping into the end of the box. For me, as one who wrote his own libretto, changing words and order and meaning is a constant battle and I have battled the box end a fair bit.
