Most likely you have a multi measure rest that was previously created and 
hasn't been updated now that there is material in those measures. Select All 
with the Selection Tool, go to the Edit Menu>Mulitmeasure Rests>Break or Create 
(both will cause the missing measures to appear).

If you don't have Update Layout Automatically clicked in your Program Options, 
then you will have to Update Layout manually (cmd-U on Mac, probably ctl-U in 
Windows) after doing this. A recent bug is that this option becomes randomly 
unchecked with no input from the user.

Re: [Finale] Folders

[David Woodard]

I am sure some capable Window's 8.1 guru's could solve that for us, but I
don't have the bucks to go asking.  After months of loosing files with my
new 8.1 computer, I can finally find my way back to the same file folders
by starting to save the desktop more and not have such deep file folder
systems.  During Spring Break, I hope to back up on my Google Drive and One
Drive systems that both Google and Microsoft provide for free, as I lost
lots of musical sweat and toil saved from Windows XP system to Mac system
 to 8.0 & 8.1 during the last 6 or more years with one drop of my laptop
down a stairway.  The Great thing I am finding as I recreate exercises that
I sought to create since 1987 when I started this Journey with Wenger Music
Writer, is that at long-last, my Finale skills are getting competent to the
point that I can solve most problems with work-a-rounds instead of quitting
in frustration for weeks, months or years until desperation drives me back
to the Software.

Now that I am teaching Chorus with poor piano skills, I can put up both
parts and accompaniments on the smartboard and teach what I cannot play,
while finally figuring out how to teach and learn solfege/takadimi at the
same time. Now if I can just figure out how to hook up a good sound system
and SmartBoard to my computer at the simultaneously.

Thanks, that will help but I really want it to back like it was on Windows
7 and I can find nothing in windows preference or setup to achieve this.

Thanks,

Lawrence - do you know you can open many files simultaneously?  Just 
highlight all the ones you need when you're opening a file.  I do it very 
often when I'm making minor changes to a score and set of parts (I still use 
Fin2005).  Then you can save each file one by one in the folder that Windows 
remembers.

There is a FinaleScript that will print a folder of files in a single 
command.

Thank you - I feared as much. Is there no way to change it. I have my music 
organised into a fairly deep system of folders and it's driving me mad to have 
go through a whole forest path when I need to open more than one file, 
especially like, as was the case yesterday, I was dealing with music created in 
old Finale where every instrument was a separate file and I needed to open each 
one to print it. (They were quite heavily formatted)

[Finale] Folders

[Lawrence Yates]

Please, please can someone help me -

How can I set finale so that it goes back to the last folder opened rather
than the last folder I saved to?

It's driving me mad!  On my old computer it worked exactly how I wanted it,
on this new one it defaults back to the last folder I saved to.

It may not be a Finale problem, it may be something to do with Windows 8,
but whatever, can anyone help me?

Please,

Lawrence

Re: [Finale] Folders

[David H. Bailey]

With my installation of Finale2012 on my Windows 8.1 computer the Open 
dialog always goes back to the most recently opened folder unless I quit 
Finale and restart it.

How do you have your preferences set for the default music folder?

I don't know if that would help at all.

I haven't changed any settings in Windows and I have Finale2012 set to 
go to the same default music folder (under which I store folders for 
each different project, sometimes nested as you're describing) as I have 
always done ever since I started using Finale back with version 3.5.

Sorry I can't offer better help than than.

[Finale] Folders

[Lawrence Yates]

I'm using Finale 2012 on Windows 8

I'm not sure if this is a Windows problem or Finale:

Let's say my file structure is "Finale" "Pieces" "Horn Quartet" "Christmas"
(I've actually shortened this list here).

If I open a file from the Christmas folder then try to open another file,
the "open" list goes back to "Finale" so every time I want to open another
file from the "Christmas" folder I have to go through the rigmarole of
going through the whole sequence.

It was not like this on my previous computer (Windows XP) - there the
"open" list went to the last folder I'd opened, which is what I want it to
do.

Is there anything I can do to get the old behaviour back?

Thanks,

Lawrence
