[Finale] F2012 extremely sluggish behaviour (mac)

has anyone else noticed sluggish behaviour? i am early on in a huge score and it is taking 7 seconds to exit speedy entry. fine, maybe that isn't huge but this score is 160 pages and i am worried it is just going to get much worse as i get further along.

Re: [Finale] text blocks with inserts disappear when edited

I have an iMac from 2007 with 4 gigs memory I set up a file with no libraries and the insert text process worked as you described in your original email. open new doc from default; or create new doc with no libraries and  create a text block with Part/Score Name insert I can make the text

Turn off automatic update layout in program options. I think that's what I did to fix it. It's a Mac thing, works fine on PC. Sent from my iPhone On 2012-05-21, at 2:13 PM, SN jef chippewa shirl...@newmusicnotation.com wrote: has anyone else noticed sluggish behaviour? i am early on in a

Re: [Finale] text blocks with inserts disappear when edited

i experienced the prob in docs with no libraries as well as ones based on my template. it seems to only happen when hitting return after the insert, not before. which would suggest that when i move the cursor to the right of the text insert, finale acts as if the text insert has been

wow, yes an impressively noticeable difference, thanks! i used to always have this option off so didn¹t think of it. Turn off automatic update layout in program options. I think that's what I did to fix it. It's a Mac thing, works fine on PC.

[Finale] Doubling Part

Greetings… Soon I'll be embarking on a Finale project that will involve several doubling parts (Flute/Piccolo, Oboe/English Horn, Clarinet/Bass Clarinet). I'd appreciate any suggestions people have about most efficient procedures of how to do this. Playback is not an essential element,

Re: [Finale] Doubling Part

If you are on 2012, it is dead easy. Click the first measure where you want the new instrument to appear, or else select a range of measures, then select Change Instrument from the menu. Playback and the score staff name will be correct too, if you started with the Setup Wizard. There are

Re: [Finale] Courtesy Accidentals

An update. As suggested by Christopher, I opened a ticket with tech support, they got back to me, asked to see the file, and correctly identified the issue which was that Auto Freeze Accidentals was unchecked. Checking it fixed the problem -- or at least returned Final to working the way I

Re: [Finale] Courtesy Accidentals

Thanks for the update. That doesn't exactly fix the problem though. What if you go F, then F# later in the measure, and Auto Freeze is on? Then later you edit and decide to change the F to F# as well. Now the second F# has a redundant accidental on it. I wouldn't call that working as

Re: [Finale] Courtesy Accidentals

Hmm… I tried what you said, both in a transposed part and a non-transposed part. In each case, when I went back in and changed the first F to F#, the accidental on the F# disappeared. Neal On May 21, 2012, at 5:52 PM, Christopher Smith wrote: Thanks for the update. That doesn't exactly fix
