For years I've been using Fin2004a (Win) on a daily basis, and have developed a comfortable and efficient set of procedures for working on (mostly) large orchestral scores. Circumstances have led me to upgrade to Fin2012a (+ GPO 4) on a Win7 machine, and after spending considerable time going

I recall (a few years ago) seeing a multi-button input device, something like 60 buttons or so. They were programmable, leading me to think how useful they would be for calling up tools and various other items in Finale. First, has anyone seen something like that, and second, would I be wrong

For myself, I cannot think of an efficient use of that many shortcuts. Anyway, TGTools lets me program all the special keys I need - all the function keys (in combinations with shift, ctrl, alt) plus a few others. f2-f5 are layers, Speedy is f7, Articulations are f9, ties are the / on the keypad,
