You must dedicate a separate MIDI channel for each string section. Go to the Instrument List window and define different instruments for Vln I, Vln II, Viola, etc., each using a different MIDI channel (even if they use the same GM string patch). > I am using a Powerbook G4 400mhz, with 768 mb of memory.

Though I'm on a PC, something is seriously amiss with a file size of 135 MB, which is undoubtedly what is slowing you down. I have a large orchestral piece of 100+ pages and 1000+ measures, and the file size is only 1.1 MB. Have you tried Remove Deleted Items under Data Check, Save As, or even cut and paste what you've entered so far into a new doc? -Lee _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
