[Finale] Notes scrunching together

Hi, I'm currently transcribing a piece which includes lots of semiquavers/demi-semiquavers (don't know what that is in American). Using speedy entry, as I type in the notes they all scrunch together so that I can't read what I'm writing. Is there any way I can stop this happening as I type as

Re: [Finale] Notes scrunching together

Hm, that doesn't happen to me. Maybe there's a setting somewhere - Automatic Update Layout comes to mind immediately, I always have that turned off. Or possibly there's a setting in the Speedy menu? I'm still using FinWin2005 and there's been some major changes since then! :) Hi Peter,

Re: [Finale] Notes scrunching together

Yes, that must be a problem. I find even 32nd notes to scrunch up so they are impossible to read until you finish the measure. Help, anybody? Chordially, John Witmer Clemson Downs Retirement Community - Original Message - From: Lawrence Yates To: finale@shsu.edu Sent: Saturday,

[Finale] FinWin 2014 how do I unhide a staff abbreviated name?

A while back, I had hidden the abbreviated staff name - right click on the name handle, and select Hide. Months later, I've changed my mind, and I want the abbreviated staff name to appear, but there's no handle anymore to right click on to make it appear. I've also tried selecting displaying

Re: [Finale] FinWin 2014 how do I unhide a staff abbreviated name?

It's not easy to spot, but a careful reading of the Staff Attributes should reveal a box labled Force Hide or something like that. Be sure it is unchecked. John - Original Message - From: Bruce Kau To: finale@shsu.edu Sent: Saturday, May 24, 2014 1:53 PM Subject: [Finale]

Thanks. Tried it, but it affects the staff, not the staff abbreviated name. Sorry. On 5/24/2014 8:16 AM, John Witmer wrote: It's not easy to spot, but a careful reading of the Staff Attributes should reveal a box labled Force Hide or something like that. Be sure it is unchecked. John
