[Finale] CPU usage of Fin2k6 on Mac

Has anyone checked the CPU usage of Fin2k6 on Mac, without active GPO? I haven't tested it, but I notice that as soon as I have Finale open my iBook starts getting warm, which it usually only does under very heavy workload. How could I test this? Johannes -- http://www.musikmanufaktur.com

Johannes, That was funny, but you can do this: inside your utilities folder (in your applications folder) is something called Activity Monitor. Click on the tab that says CPU, and it will show a graph that will let you know what's going on. I just checked mine (with Finale and GPO

I forgot to say, First, open the Activities Monitor. Maybe that;s obvious, but sometimes I don't know what people mean when they describe things that are so familiar to them that they fail to be objectively literal in their descriptions of those things which are unfamiliar to me. Sorry

Hi, Anyone else notice that autosave, which I used to have turned off because it took a couple of seconds to work and could interrupt a process (like a mass edit) and cause a hang up, now seems to work in a split second and is nearly imperceptible? Maybe I can leave it on to do the work

Actually, the most- most- most-self-autobio'd piece I can think of is Strauss' 'Symphonia Domestica' though at 1904 it's technically 20th Century.So to be strictly 19th Century and slightly (but only just) tongue-in-cheek, I'd suggest his 1898 Heldenleben; hero-worship in the first

Hi Johannes, The real danger was with autosave and the text block bug (not the file overwrite bug) in Fin2004. Autosave is not good when working with multiple files open in Fin2004 for that reason -- the autosave writes in all the unwanted changes caused by the text block bug,
