Re: resize tool changes lyric size
I agree that this is something that one should be able to turn off. If you are using an articulation, for example, it allows you to keep the articulation from resizing with the note.

Re: Don't display Time Signature at end of staff line
If you only want to do it for a few measures, rather than globally, go to the measure tool, click on the measure, and check the proper option under display key signature: something like "don't display courtesy time signatures at end of measure" or similar wording. I don't have the exact prompts here...

Re: Speedy Entry '=' too far away in windows
Just a note to let everyone know that FinaleTweak is alive and well and working very nicely on my machine with 27.3. If this ever stopped working, I would probably switch from finale. It's a quick and handy way to modify the speedy keys items in the finale.ini file. Google "FinaleTweak" and you'll f...

Re: How to prevent "Save Changes" prompt
When it asks me whether I want to save, and I'm not sure it has been changed, I go up into the edit menu and check to see if there's anything to undo. Not that this isn't a time waster as well, but at least I can exit with impunity if nothing has been changed after opening the file.

Re: Problems on printing final double bar
Is there any possibility that your printer is cutting off the rightmost part of that final bar because the last bit of it is intruding into a margin that the printer doesn't print in? I think this is a rather far-fetched possibility but I just thought I'd ask.

Re: Keyboard shortcut for Menu items?
Also see the TG Tools Menu shortcuts under the plug-ins menu. That allows you to go into the menus and submenus of the program. Also, you're not limited just to the function keys.

This may not do everything you want, but you might try this, from the User Manual, under the Lyric Tool: Set Piece Offsets To Default Font.

Yes. But I think all you have to do is click on the extension, perhaps with the lyric tool or the selection tool selected, and the handle will appear.

Re: Shortening lyric lines
And, once your document is formatted the way you like, you can click on the extension and drag its endpoint to where you want it. If the measure is widened or compressed, you may need to redo the drag.

If you enter a hard hyphen you will not have the continuing, open-ended series of hyphens that result when a hyphen doesn't have a following ...

Re: Handles not Showing in Special Tools Palette
Last thing I can think of to check is to see if the size of the handles has been changed to make them too small or too transparent to be seen. I think it's in one of the preferences settings. Edit/Preferences/View/ Handles/ size and transparency.
As I see Zuill suggested already above.

Re: Mass-change combined articulations to stacked articulations?
Anyone find it a bit ironic that MM uses a third-party plug-in (and available gratis) to fix user's problem? (Or am I being too curmudgeonly?) Here's for further integration of Jari and his resources directly into Finale.
