I'm currently using dual monitors - one 19 Viewsonic (at 1600x1200) and a 17 Sony (at 1280 x 1024), and have found that one useful trick is to turn on mouse trails. For me, at least, this makes the cursor much more apparent when moved. I also use the 3D cursor set (in Windows), which makes normal cursors stand out a bit more. The corsshairs aren't affected, but others sometimes are. Of course, I find it more likely to lose the cursor in Photoshop than in Finale, but in finale, just moving it up and down makes it much more apparent most of the time.

If nothing happens, hit Cmd+Opt+8 to enable the feature first. Not the same thing, but it certainly zooms around the pointer position. -- - Hiro Hiroaki Honshuku, A-NO-NE Music, Boston, MA http://a-no-ne.com http://anonemusic.com ___ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
