Hi jef, Nice to get a thoughtful and communicative reply. Frustrations aside, friends I have made through this list remain a fulfilling part of my life, and I wouldn’t miss that for anything, even if the communication often comes through mutual frustration with Finale. Let’s just keep up

I hope you will forward the extracted parts scenario to MM. You basically have to type every name twice: once in the print db and then again in Finder to remove the "- Score". FWIW: I never use voiced parts. (The lack of Special Tools support in the parts is a deal-breaker.) What I do is link in

There is a little trick it took me a long time to discover, that in a mac print dialogue (save as pdf) where there is a prompt for the file name you can click on any file name in the active window, even if it is greyed out, and it auto-inserts the name of the file you've clicked on - sometimes

Yes, it adds “ - Score” to the name. I was reprinting parts from a pre-2007 project, which didn’t have linked parts. Also, I suppose you know this, that any parts with grace notes in them need to be extracted when they are two to a staff, because the grace notes don’t space correctly in voiced

When you create the PDF for the extracted part, does it append text like "- Score" to the name you typed? You are correct that foor extracted parts you are SOL. May also I ask why you use them instead of linked parts? On Mon, Aug 22, 2016 at 8:14 AM, Christopher Smith <

I haven't yet tried the 25 demo. Frankly, I'm reluctant and even a little afraid. But in response to Lee Actor's question, I would be extremely distressed if the Tempo Tool has been eliminated, unless all of its functionality has been put somewhere equally accessible! At least on my version

If it's any consolation, if you pdf more than one part/score at a time you only have to type over "Untitled" once. Personally, I'm using 14.5 for printing until/if this mess is resolved. On Sun, Aug 21, 2016 at 8:02 PM, Christopher Smith < christopher.sm...@videotron.ca> wrote: > I have been
