Re: [Finale] Fin2012 upgrade
A full install is more than two and a half gigabytes (it's the Garritan sounds that take up most of the space). The installer needs to download those gigabytes from MakeMusic to your computer, taking more or less time depending on your connection speed and how busy the MakeMusic server is. On Mac there are two problems with the installer: first, it adds two zeros to the percentages, showing from 100% to 1%, and second, its estimate of the time remaining is wildly wrong. After a few minutes it told me that there was about a minute left until completion. It kept telling me this for two hours, which was unsettling. After a bit more than two hours, the installation was complete, which is normal for my internet connection and the size of the files.

Re: [Finale] Right-left page annoyance
I some times work around this problem by exporting pages in an image format (tiff, eps) and then importing them in a DTP software: there I'll set the page numbers and their position.

Re: [Finale] Right-left page annoyance
I'm really confused by this thread. Setting up page numbers on whichever side you want them is trivially easy, so what's all the grousing about? Someone explain to me exactly what they want and I'll tell you how to do it.

And the same for the odd page numbers being on the right corner of the page? That's easy? C'mon, it must take at least, what, 2 or 3 clicks!

Re: [Finale] Right-left page annoyance
Of course it is easy to change. (The only lister who implied it was not hasn't actually used Finale since sometime in the late 50s.) I still prefer, as a general rule, odd pages on the right, etc. Raymond Horton Bass Trombonist, Louisville Orchestra Minister of Music, Edwardsville (IN) UMC Composer, Arranger VISIT US AT rayhortonmusic.com On Sun, Oct 23, 2011 at 6:57 PM, David H.

Re: [Finale] A More Basic Bill Duncan Font Question
Thanks, Eric… Now the follow up. Opened Font Book, clicked on Add Fonts, chose the True Type ones, and got this message from "Font Validation": "24 serious errors were found. Do not use these fonts." (That would be one error for each of the 24 fonts.) What now?
