Quintuplet problem in Finale 2012/25
Posted: Fri Jul 28, 2017 7:43 pm
This started about a half hour ago.
I use Speedy Entry to work on my music, and have never had this issue before:
To enter a tuplet, I normally press Ctrl and the numpad key I want for that tuplet.
Today for some very strange reason, and this after working in Finale 2012 for around a half hour, all of a sudden pressing Ctrl+numpad 5 jumps to scroll view.
The problem is this not only isn't what I want, it ALSO screws up my keyboard, with the Alt key no longer functioning. It's like a stuck key. But I've changed keyboards, I've rebooted a number of times. it keeps doing it. Everything works perfectly until I use the quintuplet shortcut Ctrl+numpad 5.
The problem doesn't only remain in Finale, it screws up my computer keyboard for anything, even after leaving Finale.
Absolutely nothing changed in my setup between NOT having the problem and having the problem.
Ctrl+Numpad 5 screws up everything.
It didn't before. (as a matter of fact, I added a bunch of quintuplets earlier today and was returning to that passage to work some more when the problem presented itself)
I scrapped my .INI files. It made absolutely no difference. The problem persists.
Edit******
just for fun I tried pressing Ctrl+Numpad 5 in another program (my word processor) and nothing happened, no problem, no issues, nothing, nada, zippo, zilch. So it SEEMS to be directly related to Finale. And does the exact same thing whether I use Finale 2012 or Finale 25. I've rebooted before each try with the different programs. The issue appears for both.
