I run 2010 on an iBook G4 with 10.4, and it is a little logey. Okay, it's very logey. Turn off all those cute automatic update thingies (slows stuff down something terrible on this machine!) and sometimes when I am assigning articulations quickly I get ahead of what the machine can keep up

If, indeed, Apple is coming out with new models momentarily then, of course, it's a good idea to wait a little. The grapevine is usually accurate about those things, and there are places people know to look for this kind of information. (I'm not one of them, but I bet Darcy is.) If money is

Hello Randolph, Very interesting. I've upgraded 100s of 2.63 choral files and have good results going directly to 2008. Out of curiosity, what type of music are you upgrading and what types of issues were you having (I agree that 2009 is a disaster to upgrade directly)? Thanks, Steve 5/10/09

The biggest problem in upgrading old files to Finale 2009 is the scattering of expressions. In the files I was working with, most of my dynamics showed up far to the right of the page. A dynamic attached to beat 2 in the original might show up as belonging to beat 10 in the upgraded file.

Steve has a point. Finale 2008 does some things fairly well when opening an old file. Mid-measure clef changes stay put, for example. But the best method I've tried still involves going through v2002 first. -Randolph Peters Steve Fiskum wrote: I understand the issues with 2009 but what

On the advice of the Finale list, I upgraded a version 2.63 file to Finale 2008 by first going through Finale 2002. It took a few weeks to get to it because I had to resurrect an old computer from the crawl space. The old Mac was fine, if not slow, and it still had Finale 2002 on it.
