RE: [Finale] merging files, and thanks!
I did this, in Finale 2005, with a couple of Baroque transcriptions for brass quintet which had three to five movements in a separate files. It's been awhile, but if I remember correctly, I merged the multiple movements into one large file by adding a measure to the end of the "first" movement, selecting and copying the second movement and inserting it into the empty measure at the end of the first movement - and so on. Then I used the page layout tool to indent first systems, add space for titles, etc. If I'm remembering this correctly, then merging a couple of movements with a small instrumentation should be fairly simple.

That looks promising -- one could get a new PC with the latest OS X
and use this emulator to run OS X 10.3 to have access to the software
that runs on 10.3 but not later.
I wonder what the caveats are? I poked around a bit but could not
find the details on that.

Re: [Finale] OT: trying to upgrade browsers
Hi David,
Well, yes, Apple have a clear financial incentive to try to, ahem, "encourage"
people to upgrade their hardware.
Also, each time a new Mac model comes out, it is usually incapable of running
*any* version of the OS that predates that hardware. For instance, I haven't
looked into it, but if history is any guide, the new iMac models released Oct.
20, 2009 most likely do not boot under any OS older than OS X 10.6.2 -- they
probably can't be booted from the OS X 10.6.0 retail DVD, and definitely cannot
run any flavor of OS X 10.5 or earlier.
I did discover PearPC, a PPC emulator that is capable of running OS X 10.3 as a
client OS ("with some caveats").

Re: [Finale] OT: trying to upgrade browsers
Hi Andrew- According to this, you have the latest version ot Safari(1.3.2) that works on 10.3.9 (Safari 2.0 requires OS 10.4.) http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/17743&vid=132387 -- As far as IE for Mac, according to this, Version 5.2.3, June 16, 2003 , was the final version, so youre current with that also. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ Internet_Explorer_for_Mac#Internet_Explorer_5_Macintosh_Edition Firefox 2 requires Mac OS X 10.2 or later; 3 requires 10.4 or later. To download previous versions: ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/ Previous versions Previous versions of Firefox have public security problems. You could be exposed to viruses, phishing, and other attacks by running old versions. To find a previous version: Go to the Mozilla FTP server. Choose the version you want. Choose the mac/ folder Choose your language. en-US is US English. Choose the file that does not end in .asc. The download will then start. Once the file is downloaded, install it. After downgrading, if you intend to stay with that version, you will need to turn off Software Update. It is highly recommended that you try new versions of Firefox as they're released to see if they solve your problem. - This page lists Mac OS X browsers: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Mac_OS_X_web_browsers For Camino : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camino OS10.3.9 uses version 1.6.10 For Opera: http://www.opera.com/download/?os=mac&ver=10.50b1&local=y System requirements for Opera for Mac Note: Opera 9 and Opera 10 are Universal Binaries, meaning that they run on both Intel-based and PowerPC-based Macs.

Re: [Finale] OT: trying to upgrade browsers
Hi Andrew, YouTube (and most other online video) is Flash-based. You will need to download the latest version of Flash for your OS, which you can probably do from Adobe's website. (You may also need to upgrade your browser, but you will definitely need to install Flash.) Internet Explorer for Mac has been discontinued for years (and was a terrible browser anyway). But I believe 5.2 was the last Mac version they made. You should be able to upgrade to the most recent version of Safari that supports 10.3.9 using Software Update. Firefox 2.0.0.20 is the most recent version of Firefox that supports 10.3.9. You can download it here: http://mac.oldapps.com/firefox.php (Scroll down.)

I agree that it would probably be good to update your OS, but if you don't wish to you should be able to update Safari. Under your Apple menu just choose Software Update.
