Hi everyone!

I just installed Finale on my new laptop (15" Mac) and am getting strange gray rests all over some of the files I've been given. I know they're not there on another computer with Finale installed. Any ideas what's causing them and how to get rid of them? (I looked in Preferences but couldn't see anything obvious...)

View menu>Show>Hidden Notes and Rests

This option only appears in the full Finale. If you have one of SongWriter, PrintMusic, or NotePad, you can't turn them off. They will not print, however.

Please add the program and version you are using to your signature, in the user control panel.
