I don't know what I pressed, but suddenly my Simple Entry Palette minimized, becoming half as large, and now, 8th thru 64th note options no longer appear in the box, clicking and dragging it further just adds empty space to the box. What happened to the other simple entry options??


Thanks in advance!

Mike

After some vigorous clicking and dragging, the problem resolved itself... lol

It is possible to drag the "window" of the tool palette to become smaller than can fit all the icons: as a result, you lose some of the icons. You should get them back just by resizing the window.

What OS are you running? There is a bug that shows up in (I think) OS 10.11, where, if you resize the toolbars in 2014, they go wonky. Reinstalling Finale was necessary. Upgrading to F25 fixed it.

2014/2014.5 toolbars must remain in default in Sierra and I think El Cap, too. As Mike R indicates, upgrading to 25 is the the fix.
