I haven't had that problem yet with Finale and 10.4.1, but I've noticed it will occasionally affect other programme- i.e. not being able to quit via key command. > If you are thinking of upgrading to Tiger, you > might want to hang on to this email for future > reference and save yourself days of hair pulling. As mentioned, no problems yet with Finale, but I only upgraded last week. All my finale keyboard shortcuts (the ones you programme) were lost though- which surprised me as so far they have been the only 10.3.9 settings to be affected. I am interested in getting a pivot monitor at some stage though, so have kept a copy of your email. So far the only big problem I've had with Tiger has been isync, which crashed when I tried to sync my phone- a known problem apparently- unfortunately, I trashed isync, and can't be bothered doing a complete reinstallation! isync 2.0 doesn't really strike me as an improvement on 1.5.
