I just did the same and Finale 25 has slowed noticeably. Also a strange behavior has returnedwhen I use the staff tool to alter the distance between stave, all the music on the staves disappears while I'm moving them. Mike G. www.mikegreensill.com On Sun, Feb 10, 2019 at 4:02 AM Lawrence

WellI don't see shelling out $149 for what seems like almost no new features and no promises of bug fixes. When it comes down to it I'm thrilled with the way 2012 works, it does everything I need. I had no luck with 2014. Maybe if I got a new computer with all the latest mac operating systems
