In fairness, Davidd, the problems with the print dialog do not affect the printed output quality. Thankfully, the printed output is as good as ever. On Tue, Aug 23, 2016 at 5:45 AM, David H. Bailey wrote: > On 8/22/2016 10:36 PM, Mark Adler wrote: > [snip] > > > > I'm sorry you are disappointed

Hah! Jef, no you haven’t, but I do appreciate that there may be some deserved sarcasm in your message. I have been a Finale user since v 1.0 (it cost something like $1000 when it was first released, if I remember correctly, and that probably translates into quite a bit more in today’s dollars)

I hope you will forward the extracted parts scenario to MM. You basically have to type every name twice: once in the print db and then again in Finder to remove the "- Score". FWIW: I never use voiced parts. (The lack of Special Tools support in the parts is a deal-breaker.) What I do is link in t

There is a little trick it took me a long time to discover, that in a mac print dialogue (save as pdf) where there is a prompt for the file name you can click on any file name in the active window, even if it is greyed out, and it auto-inserts the name of the file you've clicked on - sometimes c

Yes, it adds “ - Score” to the name. I was reprinting parts from a pre-2007 project, which didn’t have linked parts. Also, I suppose you know this, that any parts with grace notes in them need to be extracted when they are two to a staff, because the grace notes don’t space correctly in voiced

When you create the PDF for the extracted part, does it append text like "- Score" to the name you typed? You are correct that foor extracted parts you are SOL. May also I ask why you use them instead of linked parts? On Mon, Aug 22, 2016 at 8:14 AM, Christopher Smith < christopher.sm...@videotr

If it's any consolation, if you pdf more than one part/score at a time you only have to type over "Untitled" once. Personally, I'm using 14.5 for printing until/if this mess is resolved. On Sun, Aug 21, 2016 at 8:02 PM, Christopher Smith < christopher.sm...@videotron.ca> wrote: > I have been get

Thanks, Ryan. Just wanted confirmation that it was not something I was missing. I can print from 2014.5, of course, or go through a PDF. But though I am generally easygoing on the Finale people, this is a glaring bug and should get a quick repair. I will let them know how damaging this is. Ch

The new Mac print dialog is rife with problems. You are not crazy. I recommend saving to pdf. But you'll almost certainly have to click through page size warnings even for parts (or score) that you are haven't selected for pdf'ing. I hope you will report this problem to MM. On Sun, Aug 21, 2016

In the meantime, can you print to PDF and disregard the page size error? The part should print to PDF correctly and then you can send that to the printer. Sent from my iPhone > On Aug 21, 2016, at 4:12 PM, Chuck Israels wrote: > > I open a score with 10 parts, choose "None” in the print dialo
