If it's any help, I find iKey to be much faster than Quickeys. There are some things it can't do though, for example iKeys can't hit the stop button on the playback controls while finale is playing, Quickeys can.
iKeys costs $20.

To David Froom and all,

Yes, I'm finding Fin 2004 to be dreadfully slow in OS X 10.3. Enough that if I had I deadline, I would probably work in
OS 9 and 2003 for the time being. I've decided to switch to simple entry from speedy entry which I used in previous versions.
I really like the upgrades to simple entry and it would be great if it wasn't so darn slow to drawn the notes after I input them.
I'm on a G4 dual 800 with a 1.25 gig of RAM, so I don't think it's a hardware issue. Hate to say it but Sibelius 3 and Digital Performer
4 run just fine, about the same or better in OSX 10.3.


Another thing that is slowing me down is Quickeys OS X 2.1. I find Finale to be really tedious without using quickeys to wade through all of the menus. But with quickeys in OS 9, I was quite happy with Finale. But the Quickeys functions in OSX for some reason are quite a bit slower, fast than pulling all those menus down myself but still quite a bit slower than in OS 9. I understand it has something to do with Quickeys now being an app instead of an extension.

By the way, I found 'auto smart word extensions' and turned that off. Where should I look for auto spacing and auto update?
