This may be a daft question, but they're not on DVD disks are they? I had a problem with the DVD version of Finale even though my computer had a DVD drive which would read normal video DVDs. Once I changed to the CD version the problem disappeared. Cheers, Lawrence

The PDFs open on another machine :) I assumed the trouble was NOT my laptop cd reader, because I was able to open CDs that the library had just sent a week ago. So it seemed very logical that the trouble was the CD ROMS, not my laptop. I do think the troublesome CD ROMS have something about

[Finale] time signature question

2006-12-08 Thread Derek Kane
Greetings, Just a quick question here, I am working with a symphonic score, and I want one staff to be in 12/8 and the rest to be in 4/4 (or common time). Later in the piece I want one staff to be in 4/4 while all the others are in 12/8. Any suggestions? Thanks for all your help.
