You may be right about the right-click. I don't see any way of bringing it up. But try this: left-click (to select the measure), Alt-E (bring up edit menu), Alt-I (letter eye to insert measure stack). On 1/17/2015 7:06 AM, Patsy Moore wrote: Hello again, There doesn't seem to be any logic

Raymond, I have WinFin 2014c. Win 7 professional 32bit, 3GB RAM. Dual core 2GHz machine. Somewhat old (4-5 years?) laptop. Not slow at all for me. It may be something else going on. Perhaps a virus? Also, if you have an overly aggressive anti-virus program, it can slow things down as well.

Be forewarned that floppy disks are not a good medium for long term storage. The little magnetic doo-das eventually fade. If you have things on floppy, copy to a hard drive and make backups! I have been contemplating using cloud backups, but I'm still a bit suspicious of their reliability.

I would agree. As a tenor, the treble cleff has less ledger lines, and is generally easier to sight read, although I don't really think that it makes a huge difference for me: I tend to sight sing by intervals, not by absolute pitch. Where the note falls in your throat sometimes throws me off,
