Hi Jef, Actually, it helped a LOT, and (knock on wood) kernel_task is behaving today. I am going with the built-in monitor only, for now. I believe there is still something a bit wonky about how Finale 2012b handles files with 30+ staves, but at least now the problem isn't being compounded by

Actually -- this sounds weird but I'm beginning to suspect it's not actually Finale-related. It may be a coincidence that the kernel_task spike tends to coincide with my launching Finale. Instead, it seems like it might have something to do with my external monitor? That seems weirdly
