I wonder if "unsuitable" is a comment on the construction of the Finale manual, or was programmed by a Microsoft employee who prefers Sibelius. ;-) Won't IE allow the bookmarking of any files on one's local computer? Is that function only for on-line addresses? Curious. -- David H. Bailey [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale

Thanks Harold. That works, although my IE won't let me bookmark it, saying "This URL is unsuitable for bookmarking..." But it is nice to see the F'ing Manual, I mean the Finale Manual, for all the new changes.

Re: [Finale] can't open online help
Ah! Hal, I had already put this bookmark in for this reason, but I had forgotten it was there. Showing my age. Thank you.

Now - another problem: I am trying to find out how to re-size measure reduction using the selection tool (as you used to be able to do with mass edit), and I find I cannot open the online help. Tried using Internet Explorer - though the default browser is Safari. Neither seems to work. I guess that's now two questions.

Hi jef, Yes, that's essentially what I do in extracted parts but, with those, you never see the unused symbol (at least not in page view). I readily admit to personal, emotional irrationality on this issue, but I simply don't like those half tone symbols lurking on the screen in my score. I wish for a more elegant way of doing this, but i can't figure out how it might be implemented.
