Something showed up tonight that I have never seen before. One of the staves in my score is now showing up somewhat darker than the others. When I use control-A to select all of the music this staff is not included in the highlighting. When I copy other stuff into it it leaves the original there

Dear all, I know I have asked this in the past but am finding it problematic to avoid ridiculously large slurs, particularly in the middle. I have set the max lift to 1 but it doesn't seem to make any difference. Anyone have any tips? (F2009) Matthew

I should recommend doing complicated things in the program that is suited... So instead of trying to get the impossible done in Finale - it does not support unicode, so Japanese is a problem - nor complicated formatting as needed by Furigana - nor top-to-bottom or right-to-left text, so - do the t

Okay, I figured it out. The problem is that Mac Fin continues to show the placeholder (or lo-res PICT) even when you print to PDF. You have to actually spool out the Postscript (.ps) file. Then you can import that back into Preview to get the final PDF. My steps are. 1. Create the Word doc and pr
