Hello!
I'm new to Finale Lists.
Is there some way that I can review past messages for answers to my
problems. I have just started receiving Finale digest and it seems way
over my head, way too advanced for me. Are there any messages for
more basic problems, faced by beginners.
I could really relate to Message 42, July 14, 2002 from David
H. Bailey,

Most of the things I do are for
beginning music students. Sometimes I do more complex
things.
I own both Print Music and Finale, although I've never used Finale
because it's so complicated. Obviously If I cant do PrintMusic, I'll
never learn Finale!
I have "ruined" several songs(in Print Music) because they are
missing one or more beats, and I don't know how to insert one beat and
move everything over. The bar lines are also off one or more
beats. Also the Treble and Bass notes are not correctly lines
up. Whenever I try to insert a beat, it just goes, "Thud,
thud" because that measure is "full" and it won't let me add any
more. I can't even force the little box to open which says "There
are too many beats in this measure". I sent an e-mail to Coda, but
they didn't get around to answering. In the Index there isn't even a
listing for "Inserting Notes or rests", although you can insert other
things.
My problems with Print Music are endless. After 2 years and
hundreds of hours I am still stuck on the most basic problems.
Thanks.
