[Finale] Program Hang
Asking for advice, please. Bought Finale 2011 in November and have been using it, learning its new features, Garritan, etc. without problems. Then at the end of a session using my MacBrook Pro, Finale froze up. I quit Finale and relaunched it and it now hangs, even when I try to open a template. I have removed Finale, emptied the trash and reinstalled the program. It still hangs. Has this happened to anyone else? Am reluctant to reinstall the Mac 10.5.8 operating system, etc. so any ideas on fixes would be much appreciated. Meanwhile I have returned to Finale 2002 on my other computer and syths; all is blissful and getting lots done with the old familiar program. Still, would like to get Finale 2011 back. thank you for any hints, tim timothy key price timothy.key.pr...@valley.net ___ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
Re: [Finale] Program Hang
First thing to try is to trash the Finale preferences and rebuild them. Thing is, I've forgotten where the preference file is stored! I'm looking for it, and will report, if I find it.

Re: [Finale] Program Hang
That is usually caused by a bad audio unit/vst plugin. Go to your Library/Audio/Plug-ins and disable some of the plugins. If Finale crashes, you can usually gleam what caused it by the crash log. timothy key price mailto:timothy.key.pr...@valley.net January 9, 2011 1:03 PM Asking for advice, please.

For modern scores. How can I get an opaque box? Does anyone have any info on layers? Thanks! Steve P.

Your method will work if the thing you're trying to hide happens to be in a lower drawing layer. I think others may have more specific information about the order Finale uses. On the other hand, one of the available text styles (in expressions and text boxes) is Hidden. So if you have a reminder note or something that you want on screen but not printed, you can set the text to Hidden. It will display lightly on screen but will not print. What items are you trying to hide? There may be other Finale-ish ways of doing it.

I had the option of moving the graphics layer of any element (including these white boxes) up or down. Is there any equivalent in Finale? Thanks!
