Hi Chuck, It's probably worth taking another look at iKey — for this and for the many other issues you mention. It continues to have zero compatibility issues with every version of Mac OS X and Finale. You can easily create a simulated click on the measure forward/back button in Scroll View,

Hi Darcy, I don't think this is an operating system issue. I have it in my very old laptop OS and my only-somewhat-less-old desktop OS in versions of Finale from as long as I can remember up to 2012. It's more to do with how Speedy is designed, to automatically put the active frame

HI: More Finale 2014 issues. I'm starting on a new file (scene). I began with the Double Bass part, and everything transferred from the score except one tempo marking. And it won't let me enter that one into the part, or a new either. When I go do Documents and Edit the part from there, the

A couple of hours of work doing a clean reinstall of 2014b seems to have fixed the unable to undo problem - at least for the moment. It's a rather painful process, and I didn't dare keep a copy of my old preferences since corrupted preference files seemed to be at least a part of the problem.

Hi Chuck, You mentioned you were using an (incompatible with Finale 2014) third-party scrolling app to do things like scroll one measure to the left or right in Scroll View. This functionality is easily replaced with a simple iKey shortcut, and there are no compatibility issues. I'm not sure

I'll try that, since the SmartScroll app (simple as it is - and as well as it used to work) doesn't work now. QuicKeys is not so easy to learn, but I know it, and I will try to teach it where the scrolling arrows are. Thanks. On Jun 10, 2014, at 7:37 PM, Darcy James Argue djar...@icloud.com

Hi Chuck, I thought the options under Ending Repeat Text controlled Coda etc. positioning, but I guess not? I never have need of these symbols. I think your only option is to create the symbols, then input the desired values in the Text Repeat Assignment dialog box. It's an extra step,
