Hello!

I'm having an issue where when I export a file to pdf format, the margins are not holding. I've tried various fixes, both in Finale and in the print dialogue box. Any ideas how to fix this?

Thanks in advance!

I'm running version 26.3.1.643 on a Macbook Pro, and when I change the page size to legal, the page view is not reflecting that. This makes it so that when I print, the formatting is off because the page on the screen is stuck at letter size. I've tried adjusting things in the "view" drop-down menu ...

Anyone have any ideas how to change this weird oversized time signature back to normal?

I have tried adjusting the font size of the time (score) notations in document setup, but it doesn't help.

A call to someone smarter than me: I've never had this happen before, but when I combine measures into one stave, the little line that denotes the multi-measure rest disappears. These files are older (I think from a different version of Finale), so I'm thinking there may be glitch somewhere. Does an...

What was the source of the XML? Are there hidden staves in the original? The source is from a music preparer, who had exported from finale into xml and sent over xml files instead of finale files (I do not have access to the original finale files). There are not hidden staves—and if I save the file...

I converted an xml file to finale (have done this lots with no problems) and the screen/page is glitching. The first two staves are obscured by white, blank space. When I click a tool, like the measure tool or staff tool, I can see the little boxes that mark where things are on the page. I can also ...

I have tried that, but there is not option to change the existing font size or type once I have opened the lyrics window. Any idea as to why? Or what I might be missing?

Hi! I converted xml files into finale v. 26 and cannot find a way to alter the font and font size for the lyrics in the score. I've tried going under document > document options, but then the changes only apply to new lyrics, not the already existing ones. I've also tried in the lyric tool, and cann...

I am editing a vocal ranges document that was formatted by someone else. The measures are separated and have an odd square symbol with and arrow in it at the top right corner. They are arranged in three columns. (I have attached a screenshot for reference). I need to make more of these type of measu...

Yes, I have tried both of those...to no avail.

It's when I try to make changes like dragging or re-sizing staves. It also doesn't track other changes, like when I try to insert a dynamic marking.

I am not sure how to check that layout setting.

I am running Finale 2014.5 on a MacBook Air. My Finale will not show changes to staves (whether I am trying to edit them or reposition them) without my switching between page view and scroll view to refresh the page. Any ideas why this might be happening and how to fix? It only happens occasionally ...
