Hard copy backups (was Re: [Finale] Lawrence)

Can someone explain why, legally, Keith can't just photocopy or re-engrave the deteriorating parts? If I buy a CD, I have the legal right to rip it to my iPod, back it up to my hard drive, burn a second copy for personal use, etc. If I buy a piece of software, I have the legal right to make a

More novice angst. I'm working in FinWin06 and attempting to hide several rests. I'm following the manual (Speedy Entry, H or O) and nothing happens. Nothing happens, also,when I use the plug-in (Note, Beam and RestHide), either. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

I have a file with a text expression assigned to all staves. Using the Expression Tool I click on the expression and press delete and nothing seems to happen. If I drag it I get a copy which I can delete but the original remains. Maybe I am overlooking something embarrassingly simple. The file is

Richard, Check to see if this expression is in this place because it has been copied from another place in a mass edit operation. There is a history of erratic copying behavior like this. There may be several superimposed copies. If this is so, when you click on one to delete it, it

I certainly didn't mean to imply this was a legal opinion. The point was that current copyright laws are unreasonable and regressive in the light of modern technology. I just think changes are needed. Richard Smith John Howell wrote: At 3:53 PM -0500 8/23/06, Richard Smith wrote: In my
