This is interesting. Here on Windows I print PDFs using the normal Adobe printer driver, and the EPSs definitely are included as vector and not as pixel graphics. Interesting also that Coda/Makemusic blamed Windows for a long time for EPS not working, and now it seems that Macs have there own tr

I've had the opposite problem at times. (I normally leave xtend over 2ndary checked.) Consider a beamed group 16th note, 16th rest, 8th note. With 2ndary xtend option checked, Finale gives the 16th rest a beam rather than creating a beam stub on the initial 16th note. It is most aggravating.

Hiro, I am not the one to answer this question, but the pops don't seem to be there for me, or I don't hear them as pops. I am tolerant of this - probably because I expect so little from this kind of mechanical playback and am too easily pleased with anything that remotely resembles music

I have been using Finale since 3.7.2 I made the mistake of using 2006 (Mac) which the default setting for opening documents is Studio View (which I have changed, but didn't do it in time). I copied parts of a file into an existing file (inserted empty bars), but did it in Studio View. It nuk

Sorry this happened to you. You can change the default opening view. Seems rather dumb to me that the program ships with this specialized view as the default. Perhaps we should let MM know. Chuck On Dec 28, 2005, at 1:15 PM, John McGann wrote: I have been using Finale since 3.7.2 I ma

I'm sorry you lost work, but I don't quite understand what happened. You copied material into a fresh file, or an opened file, and from where? And what happened exactly? Nuked how? And you imply that it says something in the manual about copying while in Studio View? Sorry I'm so dense. Chris
