[Finale] Finale/Windows on the Mac
Hello! I'm planning to get a new portable computer and I'm thinking of a MacBook Pro with Parallels Desktop to run Finale plug-ins in the Windows environment. I know that this is a configuration most users don't have, but has anyone here run Finale/Windows on Parallels Desktop with good results?

Re: [Finale] Finale/Windows on the Mac
I do software development using Fusion (which I think is basically the same as Parallels). You should expand your physical memory so that both OS's have enough to run comfortably at the same time. I have not encountered any incompatibilities with Fusion, but I suspect the same would be true of Parallels. You can set up a shared drive so that you only have one copy of source code. Another advantage, at least of Fusion, is that in addition to setting up a virtual Windows, you can also set up a virtual MacOS 10.6 (Snow Leopard). Recently I've been using that more than Windows, so that I can occasionally run programs compiled for PPC (like my outdated Windows compiler: hah!). Apple permits virtualization of Snow Leopard Server, and they started selling the Server package for just $20.

[Finale] Finale 2001 Windows - both rhythmic and slash notation in the same measure - why is it not possible
Hi, could be that my brain is tilting, but I remember I could put in a measure both slash and rhythmic notation, why Finale 2011 tells me This style (slash) can only be applied to full measures? I have to fill in a 4/4 bar the first half with two slashes, the second half with one dotted quarter and one eight in rhythmic. How can I do that? Thanks ___ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
Re: [Finale] Finale 2001 Windows - both rhythmic and slash notation in the same measure - why is it not possible
That makes no sense to me. I do this all the time, and the only problem I come up against is that note-attached smart shapes disappear when I put in slash notation in the same bar with a slur. Could it be that the staff style in question has things in it that AREN'T just slash or rhythmic notation? Check it to be sure.

[Finale] Finale Compatibility for Mavericks
Hello: Run a very quaint version of Finale 2009c - if anyone on this list still has the old version, could they say if they've had any problems with upgrading Mac Os X past Snow Leopard? I'd like to download Mavericks and this is the one app. that I wouldn't want to mess with - and Mathematica. I've already done the requisite Google and MakeMusic site searches, they've yielded some information, but none as good as anecdotal. Any input appreciated.
