Dear Chuck,
MakeMusic has owned up to the fact that the help files don't come up
with some browsers, and they are working to fix that. There is a
work-around. You open your browser, go to the file menu and select
OPEN. Then you find Applications/Finale 2008/Help Files/Finale.htm.
When the file comes up, you bookmark it. Next time you want the user
manual, use the bookmark.

Thanks jef,
I will set the tone to even lighter than I now have it set, and
maybe that will help me to deal with this.
Now - another problem: I am trying to find out how to re-size
measure reduction using the selection tool (as you used to be able
to do with mass edit), and I find I cannot open the online help.
Tried using Internet Explorer - though the default browser is
Safari. Neither seems to work. I guess that's now two questions.

chuck, you can change the colour and tone of the hidden elements so
they aren't as obtrusive. in fact i have set mine to a light brown
colour, so i can better visualize how some elements will appear (in
B&W) in the parts (that are hidden in the score) without looking at
the parts, but light enough to be able to "not see them" when i am
looking at the score.
since you do it already in the parts, it would be far more
efficient (quicker) to set it once in the score, then hide it in
the score and it will appear in all parts. you would only have to
set it up once, rather than many times in extracted parts. you can
also use a staff list for the measure-assigned symbol and it will
only appear in specific parts (and staves in the score). or leave
it on all parts (still hidden in the score) and hide it
individually in the parts. it depends on how many parts need it
which solution would be the best.
Hi jef,
Yes, that's essentially what I do in extracted parts but, with
those, you never see the unused symbol (at least not in page view).
I readily admit to personal, emotional irrationality on this
issue, but I simply don't like those half tone symbols lurking on
the screen in my score. I wish for a more elegant way of doing
this, but i can't figure out how it might be implemented.

As I have often said, the one thing I can't figure out how to do
in the linked parts is to place a "To Coda" symbol in the middle
of a MM rest without breaking out one individual measure (5 - 1-
2 for instance, instead of 6 - 2).
assign it in the part to the first measure in the MM rest, hide
it in the score / other parts as needed. this can be done very
quickly and easily.
pp 37-5 to 37-7 of the manual.
