Re: [Finale] 2012 Feature Request
Also playback related - the pause button now seems to serve exactly the same function as the stop button - it stops playback and on restarting either goes back to the start of the piece or to the designated starting place. In older versions, pause did exactly what it said, it paused playback and re-started at the place it paused whilst "stop" took you back to the start. I know that you can change the start point in the playback options box but this used to only effect the "stop" and "play" buttons.

[Finale] 2012 Feature Request
I've just submitted a feature request regarding two issues. I'd be interested if anyone else is also having problems with these. They're both playback related: Score Manager 1.The disappearance of the "Mute All/Mute None/Solo None" buttons from the score manager (formerly in the instrument list) is a definite step back in terms of efficiency. It takes a lot more time to un-mute or un-solo particular instruments. Is there any way to re-introduce these? I notice that the 'M' and 'S' at the top of the window seem to be clickable, but have no effect. Could these become the Global Solo/Mute Buttons? Sliders in VST Window and Mixer 2. In the VST Banks and Effects window, it would be extremely helpful if the value display to the right of each of the volume sliders actively reflected the adjustment as it was being made, rather than when one releases the slider. Currently there is no way to know how much of an adjustment has been made, and this is particularly true since the sliders seem to be non-linear (the same adjustement towards the right end has more of an effect than at the left). Alternatively, or ideally in addition, the option to type a value in might help. To give an example, in the VST Banks and Effects Window, I just moved the Master Volume from its default of 100 down and then tried to get it back to 100 (or to almost any specific value). No matter how much I tried I have been unable to return it to its original value. This seems a fairly fundamental problem in the usability of the sliders. This seems to be the same situation with all sliders, including those in studio view and the faders in the general mixer (the one that CTRL+SHIFT+M brings up). I find there's a lot of trial and error that needs to go on to get the right adjustment. Most adjustments are taking several moves of the slider/pan pot, since there's no way of moving it immediately to the correct value in a single move of the controller. Every tweak takes twice to three times as long as a result. I was hoping they might have been fixed in 2012b, but unfortunately not.
