Re: [Finale] Reorder staffs on one system only?
Robert, Robert, I get your point, you don't have to repeat yourself. I really think we both want the same thing: to understand what is motivating the student/caller, to find out what he/she really wants. And I do understand that when someone calls tech-support with a problem that has been driving him crazy, the last thing he wants to hear is why do you want to do that. It's really just a question of language. Mine is more old-fashioned-confrontational (which only really works vis-a-vis), yours is more Internet/caller-friendly. I'm still trying to get a handle on the latter. Cheers!

[Finale] Finale mac 2012 HELP
I have just loaded 2012 and opened several of my files to edit. They look great, but I keep coming across things that don't work, or that don't work the same way I'm used to. A couple of them have me completely hung up. 1) I can no longer find any Instrument List to change internal instruments (I use them for checking only). 2) I need to change the MIDI files of each track in order to create a standard MIDI file that can then be opened with all the tracks as separate staves. How do I do that in 2012? I've been doing this for decades without a hitch and suddenly don't have a clue! 3) a lot of text blocks (both attached to page and attached to measure) will not show up with the little handle that lets me move them, delete them, open them etc. I have had to delete measures to get rid of unwanted or screwed up text blocks and then re entered the music for those measures (PAIN!) AND 4) The text too will not do what it has always done. In 2010 when I double clicked anywhere on the score it allowed me to create a text block. Now... nothing. Sometimes it works, but it usually doesn't. Where did I go wrong. Any help on any of these issues and I'm a friend for life!

That's probably the expected behavior. Audio apps don't often like to share the same driver unless it's specifically multi-client. Sent from my iPhone, so please pardon all the typos.

Re: [Finale] Finale mac 2012 HELP
Hi Linda, 1. is now in Score Manager (command-K on a Mac, probably control-K on a PC). If you want to change instruments mid-piece, select the passage OR only the first applicable measure if you want it until the end, and go to the Utilities menu and choose Change Instrument. I find this a lot better, though it IS a bit of a kludge to have the same instrument with different transposition, and it is harder to tell where the instrument changes are, after having changed them. 2. I've never done anything except Save As... and select MIDI file. How do you change MIDI files for each track? I don't even know what that means. Do you mean MIDI channels? That is in Score Manager, again. 3. I haven't seen this. But the Selection Tool (hit Escape to select it by default, it's very quick) can select almost anything so it can be dragged, nudged or deleted, and double-clicking something like a Text block will automatically change to the tool used to create the item. Could it be that these are expressions, not text blocks? It's a different tool. 4. Again, I haven't seen this. It works normally on my Mac. Is it this way after restarting the computer? Do you have one of the new Mac laptops that have a right-click on the trackpad, and you are accidentally clicking that instead? That took me some getting used to.

Re: [Finale] Finale mac 2012 HELP
Hi Linda, Please report this to Finale tech support. I've had the same issue intermittently but they can't seem to reproduce in-house. The text block *is* being created when you double-click, it's just invisible -- if you force a redraw (cmd-R) you'll see it, and can select it and edit it.
