[Finale] Screen redraws when editing lyrics?

2005-09-13 Thread Darcy James Argue
Okay, I'm not sure how upgrading to 10.4 would affect this, but I'm 100% certain this never happened to me in 10.3. In FinMac2005, whenever I make a change in the "Edit Lyrics" box, the entire screen redraws, after every character I type. This is even when no lyrics have been assigned to th

David, I have no problem with the new Fin2006 shortcut, which is actually much more convenient than the old one. I was just curious why the Fin2005 shortcut was no longer working. (I still have to use Fin2005 for some projects.) - Darcy - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Brooklyn, NY On 13 Sep 20
