Re: Performance problems/painstakingly slow

Oh and one more thing, the saving the file problem is still a thing, not two minutes but about 15 seconds, and that also with other files. But I suspect that the cause of this is that I always import libraries from preceding scores and even though I try to clean them up regularly, they end up a sign...

Re: Performance problems/painstakingly slow

Hey everyone, well I didn't really find a solution in the proper sense, but here's what I did: I sent my file to Klemm Music, the distributor of Finale in Germany, and asked them for support. Somebody replied and basically told me that indeed it was a humungous file and that it wasn't surprising tha...

Re: Accidentals repeated in certain bars

Thanks motet for your quick reply! I had never consciously used that plug-in but turns out the settings were pretty much the same as yours in the screenshot, including "no cautionaries on repeated notes". I replicated your settings but nothing changed. Does the plug-in apply to the whole document or...

Accidentals repeated in certain bars

Hey everyone, there is this issue I've been encountering for a while now, but since it has repeatedly caused with the performers, I'd like to finally get rid of it. I work a lot with the function of displaying bracketed/courtesy accidentals (which I replace by microtonal accidental symbols, but that...

Re: Performance problems/painstakingly slow

Thanks everyone for your ideas. In the meantime I've tried them out, and nothing seems to work. Exporting as XML doesn't even work, program crashes every single time. The curious thing is that the nearer you come to the end of the score, the worse the problem gets — the first couple of pages are fin...

Performance problems/painstakingly slow

Hello everyone, I'm encountering yet a new finale problem (which is maybe an old one), I'm finishing up a big score and on the last couple of pages I'm encountering performance issues of biblical proportions, I get the rotating beachball for pretty much every single click or shortcut, even when de-s...

Hello everyone, There is an issue that's been driving me crazy for years now, so I thought I'd ask about this.

Re: Hyphens all over the place

Hey, no problem! :)

Yes, I had tried that already, it shifted the rest of the lyrics super complicatedly, so un-did it right away again... But I will try again and see what happens, with a duplicate copy.

Finale always keep you on your toes... :D Thanks again for your help.

Thanks Peter Thomsen for that info. I will make sure to do it like that the next time. For this score though, is there anything I can do to remedy this? Or is just gonna be freestyle now like I suggested in my last post? (Basically re-entering a big portion of the lyrics). Also, I realized that not ...

Hey everybody, I have run into yet another problem with the hyphen tool: All of a sudden Finale keeps making those hyphens all across the page, starting at some bar and going on till the end of the piece. It's in two different staves, in one staff actually in two lines one on top of the other. I thi...

Hey, thanks, that was amazing advice! I ended up deleting the cue note, you were obviously right, this didn't need to be an actual lyrics entry. That took care both of the line and the re-drawing issue. Let's hope it stays like that.... But I choose to be optimistic. :) Thanks so much! :D :D :D 8) 8...

Thanks for your quick reply, Zuill and motet! :) @Zuill: The file would be even bigger than the screenshots, that I haven't been able to upload. I made a very shortened version (with 30% of the staves and only 10% of the measures), but even that seems to be too big, also the line seems to disappear ...

thanks for your responses! I'm in scroll view, but page view doesn't seem to make a difference. If this is a Mac issue, then this is frustrating-as-hell news :x :x :evil: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: But I appreciate the delivery ;)

Re: Slow performance in simple entry

Hello miker and motet,

thanks a lot for your quick replies, I'll definitely try that out, though the automatic update layout thing hasn't worked at first glance. But I'll give it another try.

Any other ideas?

Thx so much !!
