Re: Eb is really an E - What is wrong?
Somehow you "hid" the natural sign so it isn't showing but is really still there. Go in and change it to a flat and you will see it appear. Then you will need to rehide it since it is tied. Hiding an accidental can be done selecting the note in the Speedy edit frame and pressing the asterisk key.

Re: Pedal line
And once you have found the custom lines. Assign the ones for pedaling to keyboard shortcuts and you can place them in the music very quickly. And selecting a bunch of them and right clicking will allow you to align them vertically. Then all you have to do is make sure the ends join up nicely by sel...

Re: Epson EcoTank Printer
Thanks, Motet. Epson has been advertising this as some new inkjet technology that is the equal of or better than a laser. In fact, they are going to stop their laser production.

Re: Epson EcoTank Printer
Thanks for that, oldmkvi. I was hoping that it was actually cheaper to run, better quality printing and more environmentally friendly than my current laser printer. What model did you get and does it duplex?

Epson EcoTank Printer
Has anyone used one of Epson's EcoTank printers for music? I am wondering about the print quality and if it is the equal of a laser printer.

Thank you for doing all that, bakkumd. That was going above and beyond and I really appreciate it. I had actually decided that Moom looked the best of the ones I saw reviewed, so your recommendation was very helpful. I'll try it!

Re: Split screen
Interesting. So no one uses a split screen app on a Mac? I see Magnet and Rectangle recommended. Just wondering if anyone had experience using either with Finale.
And Moom is another one.

Re: Inadvertently hiding a window
Continuing this somewhat tedious monologue in case it might be of help to someone. What does work well is to assign the Application Switcher to two buttons on the mouse by means of SteerMouse, one for each application that is being used. This allows switching with one mouse click and without selecti...

Re: Inadvertently hiding a window
Thanks, N. It's an interesting idea. If I programmed a button on my mouse to do Command-Tab, it might be a better way to change windows. I'll try it.

Re: Inadvertently hiding a window
Thanks, Peter. I was afraid it was something like that.
But I am not doing an Option click. I am doing an Option-Command or Option-Space bar click. Mac doesn't know the difference? Or does it first process the Option and then add the Command? That would be awful.

Inadvertently hiding a window
If I have a Preview window and a Finale window open, and the Finale window is in focus, if I forget to select the Preview first and instead click on it directly with the Finale Hand Grabber keyboard short cut, Option-Command, it hides the Finale window. And the opposite is also the case. If the Prev...

Re: MusXML comparison
But wouldn't the results read out as a text file? Could that be converted back into music notation? I was thinking of something that would show errors by means of colors or whatever in the original file.

MusXML comparison
Wondering if a program exists that compares and tabulates differences between MusXML files. It might be useful for proofreading files that move from one program to another. For example, a Dorico file exported to Finale. My wife mentioned that such programs exist for XML files.

Re: hiding rests in simpler polyphonic music
I believe there is. You can use Voices instead of Layers. Voices can "launch" from any specified note within the measure.
But I never use Voices, so I am no expert. Why that is, I can't quite explain, except that I like the simplicity of layers.

I had forgotten that, Ben. Probably because I've never had a mouse that had decent scroll wheel. I should try a trackpad, but do wonder about precision. Which one do you use?
