Hi Hiro,
Nice idea, but the X-keys keyboard only talks to Finale through
Quickeys, so I don't see a way around this.
In other words, the X-keys keyboard is programmed to duplicate
multiple keystrokes on the Mac keyboard, reducing them to single keys
- a nice, seemingly elegant, solution. Those Mac keyboard keystrokes
are, in turn, programmed to call up Quickeys Macros (sent to me most
kindly by Karen - they are a little troublesome for me to set up, and
she seems to be very good at this). So there's no way to get around
the Quickeys part of things. You can, however, circumvent the X-keys
by learning and executing the multiple keystrokes (modifier key/
another key) to get the Quickeys macros to work. BTW, Quickeys seems
conflict free, so far, in this version (3.1).
Maybe the X-keys people will fix their software. Darcy suggested
looking on Versiontracker for other software to control the X-keys,
but I wouldn't know where to look. Besides, I think they should fix
this.

Bad news: I can't use it unless (or until) the software conflict is

Check,
Is there any chance X-Keys software and QK are the conflict? Would
Finale work with X-Keys when QK was not loaded at boot?
