Re: [Finale] Lyrics entry [was: Re: Part prints at 1/16 size of page]
On Macs in the Finale lyric tool, while typing directly into the score, if the shift key is held while the space bar is pressed, the curser is sent backwards. My suspicions are that Mr. Parmerlee, while having to press the shift key to create the capital I, may inadvertently still have the shift key pressed when he hits the space bar. I know it has happened to me a few times, forcing me to consider my typing coordination skills, which are already pretty low.

For example, if you enter I a a word in a lyrical line, the cursor jumps backwards two syllables and messes everything up. And there are several other really bad bugs in lyrics. Are you using a Mac? Because I just ran a test on the Windows version of Finale2014: 1) Started a brand new document, using the default template 2) entered two measures: 4 quarter notes and a whole note in 4/4 time 3) entered directly into the score: Some-one should I call (they didn't need to make sense, just had to include several syllables before the word I which you say is a problem) -- there was no jumping of the cursor. The word I stayed right where I entered it. 4) opened the Lyrics window and created verse 2 with the words What should I do now? 5) click-assigned verse 2 beneath my directly entered lyrics -- again, there was no problem at all. 6) went back into verse 1 and highlighted the word call and typed I and again there was no problem. So if you're on Mac, it's a Mac issue. If you're on Windows, it's not a problem with Finale but rather with whatever file or files you've tried to use the word I in the lyrics tool. Once you get your list of bugs typed, you should post it here before submitting it to Finale so that we can all test them to see if they really are bugs or are somehow only bugs on your system or when using your templates. -- David H.

Re: [Finale] auto-save working but can't find file
Same here. Sent from my iPad On Jul 12, 2015, at 11:23 AM, Chuck Israels cisra...@comcast.net wrote: As far as I can figure out - Finale no longer makes a visible AutoSave copy. However, when I reopen the file I’ve been working on after a crash (infrequent as they are for me), the reopened copy appears to have been saved according to my AutoSave schedule. So it would appear to have been saved and somehow kept in such a way that reopening the file accesses the AutoSave version. It’s mysterious to me how this is done, but things seem to be working this way for me, and since the AutoSave function no longer seems to result in a momentary delay, as it used to in 2012, I have it set to save every 5 minutes, so I hardly lose much work when there is a crash. Anyone else confirm this impression?

Re: [Finale] orchestra show of power? or justified deadline?
Hi Jef, I would think this is a reasonable request to get the string parts to the concertmaster and principles before their vacation starts for bowings and part assignments (for wind played and percussionists, etc.). I have had to deal with this for shows that are early in the season, so that the principles could truly enjoy their vacation without any work load. This is just my opinion and experience though, since I don’t know about your exact situation. Has the librarian or admin. staff offered any explanation?

Re: [Finale] Upgrading to Finale Mac 2014
The only problem I had after the Mavericks upgrade was printing 2 sides up on 12x18 landscape. Seems to be a compatibility problem with Mavericks and HP. The only way I can make it work is to save as a PDF and configure each PDF part separately to 12X18 landscape. If anyone has a work around, I'd appreciate hearing about it.

Re: [Finale] Upgrading to Finale Mac 2014
Scott, What size paper are you printing on? I can print on 8½ x 11 11 x 17 both landscape and portrait, and 9 x 12 portrait with no problem. But when I try to print on 12 x 18 landscape I am not able. As I have researched this it seems to apply across the board outside of Finale. I noticed a few complaints from architects trying to print oversized blueprints on 12 x 18. I use an HP 5500.
