I am scoring a film in Finale 2010A to picture. I already know that if
I open a new file, that Finale crashes if another file is open with the
movie window open. And I have to be sure to move windows back to my
primary monitor before disconnecting a 2nd monitor or I won't be able
to access those windows till I reattach the 2nd monitor. Those I can
live with but now a new problem!!!
I've spent the last few weeks
at another location where I hook up a Dell monitor to my MacBook Pro
laptop. At home, I have a Sony monitor I used to use with my desktop
Mac. It worked fine but yesterday a new problem. After spending a lot
of time at the other location with the Dell monitor attached to my
laptop and it working ok, now at home with the Sony, the
movie will only sync with the music if I start at the beginning or at
least close to the beginning. Otherwise, it will not sync up. I finally
thought I solved it with moving everything to the laptop using the
laptop monitor only and it seemed ok. I tried the 2nd monitor once
more, it didn't work, went back to the laptop only, restarted and
thought everything would be fine but it is not working. Right now, I
have 5 reels of 17 to 20 minutes each. Starting at the beginning for
music later in the reel is not an option!
Finale
tech had suggested that trashing preferences might help with the
crashes. For this problem, the only possible suggestion was to see if
there was a newer video driver for my laptop but I'm told that is even
less likely with Mac than PC and especially
since my laptop is only a year old.

I had that problem when I installed 10.6.0. A MakeMusic tech. referred me to
these instructions, which fixed the problem.
http://makemusic.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/1726
After that, the updates to 10.6.1 and 10.6.2 didn't mess with the fonts at all.

Evidently on both. It happened to me on Windows XP. It happened to
Christopher Smith on a Mac.
I wiped out the entire F2010 installation and reinstalled just the base
product without the patch and it works normally. I'd strongly advise
against anybody putting on the patch, as it seems the problem is fairly
pervasive.

I haven't used Finale's two up printing in a while. Is it me or has MM
completely f@@!ed it up? If I set the page size to the 2-up size, it
gives me a whiny message about the page size not matching the Finale
page, then doesn't print anything useful at all. If I set it to the
page size of my document, the 2-up works but it is crammed onto a page
that is twice too small and in the wrong orientation.
A few versions back, 2-Up printing used to work. Now it appears to be garbage.

I have a question about how to format page headings. I'm currently
using FinWin2K4.
How do I get the page headings on pages 2 and after to read [Title
Instrument]? Right now it reads [title] as formatted on the document.
I can change simple text easily enough, but ... how to format that text
to vary from part to part? Is a puzzlement!
Thanks!

I still do two-up on 11x17 all the time, no problem through all the
versions (except for the postage-stamp size printing bug in 2007 that
only affected two of us on the list.) I have had more problems from
changing printer drivers than from changes in Finale versions.

What response have you gotten from MakeMusic about this?
I have 2010a installed on an XPpro machine and I'm not
getting that crash which you have described. I just
experimented again, with and without midi device entry,
using speedy entry, and no crash.
Just how pervasive is this bug? A couple of people have run
into it, but certainly not a huge majority of the people on
this list.
It would be interesting to know what sort of percentage have
had to uninstall the product and then just reinstall the
original 2010 release.

Don't recall what was possible with 2004, but in 2008 you simply use text
inserts (from the Text menu): Score/Part Name. And you'll have each part
name in the different parts.

Under the Text menu there is an item for Inserts -- under
that are the various options for things to insert, including
Instrument Name.

After installing the FinMac 2010a patch our machines suddenly stopped
working (freezing, not being able to open older files and so on) and
we had to wipe the patched version (I can recommend AppDelete and
AppZapper for such grisly tasks!) and reinstall the unpatched
version, which had been working fine.
I would _strongly_ advise all Finale users, particularly those Mac
users on older machines (it happened on our G5 PPCs running OS
10.4.11) not to install this patch until this matter has been cleared
up. As it would seem to not be affecting the whole Finale community,
it might be an OS and/or processor conflict...

I just successfully printed two US letter sized pages side by side 2-up
on 11 x 17 paper in both 2009 and 2010 on a Windows machine running XP.
I don't presently have 2008 installed. As you describe, I do get the
message about the page size not matching, but when I select the answer
"yes" to the question "do you want to print anyway", printing works as I
expect. Last time I remember not getting any printout, I was trying to
print a booklet, and the left page I was trying to print did not exist
in my document.
