I replaced the SibeliusScore.mdimporter and I did the suggested sudo mdutil commands and re-Indexed everything. Seeing that I was having trouble with a particular Font folder, contained in an old Photoscore 3.1 installation on my APPS partition, I deleted this installation and ran the re-Indexing again on that APPS partition. Still showing a problem with Sibelius 5 indexing. Have another e-mail in to Sibelius Tech folks. This seemed to release a myriad of issues with coreaudio and other things, that have me perplexed as to how to proceed. Also got a system pause (Blue Screen) that resolved in about 5 minutes, and seemed to be pausing at a Public folder ... was this because I have File Sharing On and it was waiting for my other computer to come up (which it did while I was waiting for the Blue Screen to possibly resolve on its own)? How do I send my system.log-s to someone who requests them? The bulk of them are located in /var/log/samba , but that seems to be invisible, except to Console? Is there a "Show Invisible FIles" checkbox somewhere? Thanks. This all sounds so pathetic at present ... You can uncross those fingers for awhile ...
