Last time we looked at this issue we discovered that Finale Windows generated PDF files had staff lines that were composed of very thin lines, that is to say something like 10 very skinny lines per staff line. That was the difference between the Mac and Windows PDF files, and the display problem is likely the result of all the very closely knit clustering. It would be interesting to get an official response as to why this is the case. -- Simon Troup Digital Music Art _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
