No, I never suggested that your criticisms of Finale is inconsistent with using and liking the program. It is just your assertion that the manner in which YOU think things should work should be the default.
I even supported your suggestion that Finale allow an option to show measure numbers ALWAYS with the region indicated. But you insist that your view should be the default view and I disagree with that. Because of that you insist I have some mental illness. And your assertion that all who can work with Finale with a minimum of frustration and a maximum of ease and who aren't afraid to say so in the face of criticism of the program have Stockholm Syndrome (I didn't know you were a licensed psychotherapist, too!) is indefensible. You have a hard time with certain aspects of Finale. Fine. Raising objections to them, sending messages to [EMAIL PROTECTED] is fine. I have never said that I thought people shouldn't criticize Finale. What I object to is your assertion that the Fenton way is the ONLY way and that anybody who disagrees is wrong. So perhaps, since we are all playing psychoanalysts today, we should coin a new syndrome: Fenton Syndrome -- the syndrome of thinking that your way is the only way and all who don't agree are sick. I admitted that my way of being able to deal with the measure number display may well not be the only way and I have been willing to admit that other options should be allowed. Why are you not so flexible? David W. Fenton wrote: > On 27 Sep 2002 at 14:15, David H. Bailey wrote: > > >>Okay, you're right, David, Finale sucks big-time.
