Morning all

Beware of using the pedal "ped" expression that spans multiple pages. Specifically: I added a ped expression on the vibe part for a piece for concert band. I added it while in page mode. I moved the star (ped-up indicator) across several pages. The piece played fine.

As I always do, I launched a "Prepare Postscript Listing." Half-way through, Finale put up 4 or 5 Out Of Memory boxes then crashed. After much rebooting, experimenting, and such, I noticed the crash always occured when it was on page 16. I looked on page 16 and thats when I noticed the ped marking I had added. I removed the ped marking and now it generates postscript just fine.

So there's an issue with Finale processing a Ped that extends across multiple pages. I will communicate this to finale directly.
