It would be an interesting thing to have someone go through the various versions, and try to do a page of music in various versions of Finale through the ages. I'm sure some of you Windows owners, who pride themselves for being able to run old versions of software, could do it. David W. Fenton

Sounds like it never got ported to Mac OS X. Though I can't ever remember using it either. Though the score groove stuff is very cool, and I've used it quite a bit lately. Sent on the go via my iPhone On Aug 7, 2007, at 12:55 PM, Christopher Smith <[EMAIL PROTECTED] > wrote: I

I don't know exactly when it was dropped, but it isn't present in 2006 or 2007, and wasn't included in 2008 either. I think it was an OSX issue (which would have made it 2004 when it stopped working.) Christopher On Aug 7, 2007, at 3:23 PM, Eric Dannewitz wrote: When exactly was this plug

When exactly was this plug in dropped for Mac? OS X version? I remember it in the 2003 version of Finale, and now that you mention it, I don't see it at all on my Mac version. I'll have to check the PC version at home later. Christopher Smith wrote: Keystrokes, the MIBAC Rhythm Section Gen

Why on earth would you think that? The Mac and Windows versions of Finale have virtually identical functionality. I'm going to be teaching in a mixed lab -- both platforms. Apart from familiarizing myself with the Windows keystrokes, I really don't anticipate that this will be a problem.

To anyone out there who teaches Finale (over the course of a semester): Could you contact me privately? I'd love to swap syllabi to see the chronology you take. I've done the class a couple of different ways but am not completely satisfied with either ordering of topics. Thanks. -Carolyn On 8/

Hi David: The class is taught every fourth semester and so the last time it was taught, students were on 05 or 06. The lab computers will probably be on 07 when I teach it in the spring with some of the laptop users on 08. All those different keystrokes ought to be fun... You handle bugs any way
