Yes, the problem was that OMS wasn't perfoming fully. I reinstalled OMS.
Now when I look in Finale midi setup I see (not in italics) Midisport,
port 1, port 2, Quicktime Music.
I selected Port 1, for output and input device and everything is now
working OK.

Dear Jari,
Do you happen to know if the Start-up Wizzard has changed the method
of giving us a pick-up measure - from the klutzy place-holder to the
infinitely better short meter with main meter for display? Whenever I
use the Wizzard, I skip the pick-up feature so that I can use the

Now THAT is something Coda should have indicated in the text

I read that line, also. I still think it is unfair to compare apples to

I think such an option is definitely the wrong way to go. How many of
us have ever had a printing problem in the middle of a run? Probably
all of us! So if there is an option to print just ONCE, and that one
time screws up, then we are out of luck. And I won't purchase any such
product. B
