Hi Jari and Darcy, Thanks for the input. I know about the iOS-style non-persistent scroll bars in windows in general. My problem was/is the absence of arrows, for instance, in the key signature tool, where we used to be able to change the number of flats or sharps in a signature by clicking on

But, I mean, what kind of interface is _that_!? Not a good one. Scroll bars shouldn't be being used for incremental changes such as those found in the Key Signature or Time Signature tools. Apple has provided up/down arrows to be used where a value can be altered by set increments. Finale

While it is true that MM now needs to change many of the scroll bars to other types of incremental controls, I can't get myself to be too upset with them. They are victims of Apple's capricious de-functionalization of scroll bars as much as we are. More so, really, because making the change will

Thanks Darcy. That was it. I guess our problem(s) had to do with upgrading from a (relatively) old (but solid) OS (10.6.8) to a new one (10.8.5). With a baby-steps approach to upgrading we might not have missed so much of the action. Cheers! Eric *

I bet you are entering music on a chromatically-transposed (no key signature, but transposed) instrument. Apparently, the way around this is to enter the music in concert pitch, rather than entering it in transposed pitch. It only affects certain pitches. I actually hate this bug very much,
