When I attempt to load the library on MacFin2k5, it will cause the first 23 measures (of any score I attempt to load it into) to become one giant blank measure, and nothing is added to the articulation selection dialog. I even tried opening a new Document without Libraries, and the same thing happened. It appeared to work fine at first, but when I tried to enter notes into the first bar it swallowed up the following 22 bars and made the file unusable again. -- Brad Beyenhof [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://augmentedfourth.blogspot.com _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
