So true, David. Finale's versatility, the main draw for most of its fans, often get's in its own way. There's always some logic for various aspects of the user interface. But because we all can, and probably do, work in very personalized ways with the program, the best solution for one misses the mark for another.
I get used to these sorts of things easily enough; some are more of a challenge than others. But it seems like we're waging war with the windmills when something has been a certain way for a really long time and then it changes. Because it makes more sense. "It's 5:00 somewhere." Also, is it really the impossible dream (forgive my Quixote-ness today) to want a comprehensive list of new features and changes with each version? Would it be that difficult to produce, as opposed to the sales job highlights and online manual designed for efficient hunting and pecking that we now get? Just wondering.
