Son of a… That's a major, data-erasing bug, and MakeMusic should know of it ASAP. I hope you have opened a tech support case detailing what you told us. Thanks for tracking this down, and sorry it cost you data. Christopher On Wed Feb 18, at WednesdayFeb 18 2:27 AM, John Roberts wrote: I

How I try to put belt and braces on my self-supporting trousers. Autosave was on by default when I installed F2014 on Windows 8.1 (just before Christmas 2014 on a new Lenovo laptop) and has never given me any trouble on several different versions of FInale since the mid 90s; it saved me some

That was a thought I had too - that the file might be directed to save somewhere I had not intentionally directed it, but this is not the problem I am having. I have checked it multiple times. The strange thing is that I can get it to work by restarting the computer and setting up AutoSave

Thank you all for the input. It has seemed to me that AutoSave works differently in 2014 than it did before. When I've needed it the folder is empty. I'm usually pretty good with save-as-you-go, but every once in a while I space out, and that's when trouble seems to happen! JR On 2/17/15

I suggest making sure the folder in Program Options is the one you think it is, and that autosave is enabled. I remember having to fiddle with this in Fin14. On Tue, Feb 17, 2015 at 6:36 PM, John Roberts an...@nycap.rr.com wrote: Thank you all for the input. It has seemed to me that AutoSave

I have not had that problem (MacFin14). I have the autosave interval at 10 mins and it frequently saves me. I do direct it to a different directory than the default. On Tue, Feb 17, 2015 at 1:38 PM, John Roberts an...@nycap.rr.com wrote: Am I right that if* Finale 2014 crashes, as well as

I have never, ever invoked any kind of Auto-Save in any Mac application. Cmd-S is so ingrained in my grey matter and workflow that anything automated just gets in my way. Almost like those asinine thingies insurance companies want to you plug into the ODB port on our cars. But I digress, big
