Yes, it seems like an oversight: it ought to be possible to set the vertical position of the plus sign. I can only come up with workarounds, either: 1. You could set the plus sign to a blank character, then add it as an expression. or 2. If you prefer keeping the plus sign as it is, you

Eric Dannewitz nailed it -- it's latency, and for immediate response when you hit a midi key, you need one or more of several things: A faster processor, more ram, a different playback engine. If you're trying to use GPO, which is extremely resource-hungry, while entering your music, you'll

Well, he said In speedy entry there is a time lag between the moment I press the key on my keyboard and when the sound appears. This in itself is annoying, but when I am entering a string of notes I first get a measure full of rests, then eventually the notes begin appearing. This makes it

Well, it could be a number of problems. Perhaps two problems. The time lag between pressing and hearing the sound is latency. The other problem, Speedy not catching up...could be because he's using GPO sounds and the latency for Finale to generate the sound first, then to update the screen
