And a comment about speed: for me the thing that is HORRIBLY slow now is
smart shapes. When I click on a slur or hairpin to move it, it takes a full
3 seconds for the thing to be selected. Then there is a couple of seconds
delay after I use my trackball to move it, so I am never sure exactly where
it is going (while I'm waiting for the slur to respond, I sometimes drag it
too far, and then when trying to correct that, I correct too far). In
FinMac 09 (and previous for a long time) things were pretty fast.
I am using a Powerbook G4 400mhz, with 768 mb of memory. I have everything
else off when I run Finale. Granted, this is a three-year-old computer, and
not the fastest on the market right now, but this is even less responsive
than trying to run Digital Performer (which I usually run in conjunction
with Reason). Does anyone have any ideas about how I can speed up Finale?
Yes. Write to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> and tell them speed should be their #1 priority for MacFin2005. Remind them that Sibelius is now *much, much* faster than Finale, with virtually no redraws, and they'd better catch up.
(As for Finale 2004, I'm afraid you're stuck for the time being. Like a lot of first-generation OS X software, it's just slow.)
