[Finale] MAJOR FILESAVE BUG in Finale 2004

2004-04-07 Thread Jonathan Smith
Darcy, I have also had this happen recently, but in 2003 under OS9. I had 2 files open and had left the computer for a couple of hours, returned, hit cmd-Q to quit and hit return on the save dialogue assuming it would be correctly attributed. Next day I discovered one file had over-written the

Crystal, It sounds to me as if the keyboard maybe stuck and is giving out a midi message, if as you mention: 3. Instead of receiving notes from the piano, it is just entering notes from the computer keyboard whenever I try to choose the note value to accept from the piano. Try 'all notes off

A technique I use is to highlight the measure with the Mass Mover in scroll view, it is then easy(ier) to locate as you switch to page view. In finale it appears that the most L.H. measures on screen while in scroll view relate to the measures that will come up when you go to page view. Therefore
