In the Windows version, *ALL* of the techniques you mentioned mess up the left margin. Just to put this in some perspective, maybe I can describe the project where it became completely maddening, in hopes that somebody from Finale might gain a better appreciation for why attention to the user

David, as I just finished saying, the behavior is different on Macs. The default screen layout is *not* restored. The left edge of the system stays put onscreen in scroll view no matter how many times I zoom in and out. This must be a FinWin bug. It sounds very annoying, but I had no i

I agree with all of that, and let me just reiterate that the margin ABSOLUTELY DOES NOT stay put. Changing the zoom level puts it back to the left for certain, and there are other operates that do likewise. I'm not on my Finale machine right now, so I can't enumerate the other cases that torm

No, that is not how it is working for me. So I guess I don't have the slightest idea what YOU are talking about. Any time you change the zoom levels, for example, the margin goes all the way back to the left. There are many other very routine options that also send the margin back to the lef

I know this annoyed me as well in the past, but of course checking just now with 2006 back to 2004, it works just as Darcy describes. Maybe there is an option somewhere that at some point I fixed? In any case, the thing that I never bothered to figure out, is how to hand-drag the staves

Craig, I'm afraid I haven't the slightest idea what you're talking about. In Scroll View, you can use the hand grabber to put the leftmost barline anywhere you want, showing as much or as little of the staff names as you desire. And once you've put it where you want it, it stays there, no

OK, this is one that has bugged me no end for 10 years. But tonight it seems to be driving me crazy more than usual. In scroll view, Finale displays the staff names to the left of the staff. But the spacing is such that most of the staff name disappears off the left of the screen. It makes
