Hi Steve and David, This has happened to me (OS 10.7.4) - maybe three times, and I took it to be something unique to my system or perhaps my computer use habits. It didn't occur to me to think that it might be an integral Finale bug, but I have experienced this phenomenon. It has always happened with an expression assignment meta tool, and when it becomes stuck, there is no way to assign a different expression other than the one with which Finale has become stuck - even by trying to select one from the expression dialog window. Simply quitting and restarting Finale isn't enough to cure the problem, but I have had success with a complete system shutdown and restart. This has only happened (I think) when Finale has been up and running, and in heavy use for quite a long period, and this may be why the behavior is difficult to duplicate so MM can find the bug. Perhaps there might be some tidbit of information in how I remember the experience that could be useful - though I don't know if I've added a real clue or not.
