Hi Karen, I'll try this too.
Something will have to work!
If I save the preferences to a backed up place and then reinstall
them, will the backed up preferences be corrupted so that I must
rebuild them anyway?
Chuck,
The thing to do is
Hi Karen,
Thanks, I got this now, and understand it clearly, but a reinstall
did nothing, so now I'm going to try to delete the new default
preferences, quit and re-start Finale to see if that does anything
positive.
Back in a minute or so.

I just checked and got me surprised.
Finale 200x Preferences files are not the real pref files, but
com.makemusicFinale.plist is. The problem is that there is only one
file on my machines, and the content tells me this file is for 2005, but
not 2006.
So, where is the FinMac2006 pref?

Hi all,
I reinstalled - I hope I did all that was required pre Darcy's
instructions. I had removed the preference file from the preferences
library, and the MM file from the application support library.
Darcy sent me back a copy of the troublesome file which I had sent
him. He had no
FWIW, here is a list of suggestions I sent in today to Makemusic. I
post them here purely in the sense of if you think that any of them
would be a good idea, you might like to cut-and-paste them to Makemusic
as well.

Hiro,
Have you tried USING the files? I don't know what vi is and I

helps TREMENDOUSLY with the Mass Edit lag. And it will not affect
your actual preferences! Every Mac Fin2006 user should try deleting
this file.

Hi David,
I'll take any suggestion I can get, but this doesn't seem to be the
problem. For instance - select the tool from the pallet with the
mouse, click on entry - nothing with those two tools. Other similar
tools work as expected. It's mysterious.
Thanks though.

Did you try selecting the tool from the Tools menu?
Did you try double-clicking on the Tuplet tool to see if it brings up
Document Options - Tuplets?
Did you try selecting existing tuplets or chords with the selection
tool?

Yes, I have macros that do this, (grace a Karen) and they are working

Hi Johannes,
I also us a default file but I have never named it the same thing as
one of the MM default docs.
Here's how I made it work:
1) Put your default file in the 2006 Components File and name it
something other than a Finale name i.e. Perhaps JG Default.
2) Highlight the file name
