Re: [Finale] TAN: iTunes
It's been a long time since I used OS 9, but here are a couple suggestions. To find every file you would have to reveal original for each file one at a time. Note that the MP3 title tag is not the same as the file name. Do you have an option in itunes to keep itunes folder organized? In OS X this organizes you files in folders as follows: Artist Album Title Maybe you could turn on keep itunes folder organized select a playlist in itunes, get info (still in itunes) and edit the tags and then be able to transfer the stuff over. The playlists are specific to the hard drive/directory structure where you made originally made the list. Playlists are just text file with lists of sound files. Let me know if this helps out and if I can be of mroe help. I know way too much about this because I just got an mp3 player and the mp3 tags, as they're called, have just become relevant.

Some of the cracks audible during initial playback are eliminated in the recorded file, but the big problem is that in many areas where the texture is dense, the tempo speeds up!

I think I understand. You want to program a shortcut to toggle page view/scroll view. There are two menu items, presumably you would like to have only one keyboard shortcut that would work for both, as it would in Finale natively, but you can't, since iKey can't have two shortcuts with the same keystroke. The only solution I can think of is to program two separate keyboard shortcuts. One to activate page view, and one to activate scroll view.

Re: [Finale] iKey woes
Here is another possible soluiton. I don't remember if you said when you went from ikey 1 to ikey 2. what follows is good if you still have the files from the iKey 1 install. As far as iKey destroying the old shortcuts, IKey 2 does not destroy any files, after you upgraded to iKey 2 you should still have the directory ~/Library/Preferences/iKey Folder/ on the CCC image. iKey creates ~/Library/Preferences/iKey/ for the iKey2 install. Check if you still have the following files on the old disc image: ~/Library/Preferences/iKey Editor.plist ~/Library/Preferences/iKey.plist ~/Library/Preferences/iKey Installer.plist ~/Library/Preferences/iKey Folder If you do, delete everything having to do with iKeys in the new drive, Copy those files and folders mentioned above from the CCC image (you can mount the image, no need to boot from it.) Now, start up iKey 1, not iKey 2. if all the files are the same as they were before you upgraded to iKey 2 you will be able to revert to iKey 1. Since iKey 2 is less than useless I assume you would want to do that. All that failing, I have a bunch of shortcuts for finale 2005a, mostly shortcuts to tools which I would be happy to export for either iKey 1 or 2 and send you. hope this helps, steve ___ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale

Re: [Finale] TAN: More iKey
iKey 2 is the same.
