Up Dating

Hi folks.

I am currently running on a MacBook Pro; OS Ventura 13.4.1. and Finale 27-3-0-160.


Can I now safely update OS and Finale, without any "crashes" etc as in the past?

Thanks

Vertical overlapping articulations and tie/slurs.

I think I used to be able to correct this with "tools". Is there anyway this can now be done for the whole piece of music?

I have been sing FiNALE for at least 25 years......you would think I would remember (I'm now 80 !!!) how to do this !!!

Mac OS Sonoma 14.0

Macbook Pro. Finale 27.3. OS Ventura 13.4.1

I am just wondering if anyone has downloaded the new Mac OS 14.0

I am always reluctant to update OS until I know other Finale users are happy with it.

Regards

Later Colours

After 25 years of Finale on a Mac computer with various versions of Finale, I have finally gone over to a PC laptop with Windows 10. The change is not as easy as it sounds for an old bloke like me. I also got the latest (I hope) version of Finale. So two questions (sorry). 1) Where can I find what v...

Re: Missing Notes on new PDF files

Thanks Peter. Printer defaults to Acrobat, but I closed Acrobat, opened file with "Preview" and printed off a copy with all noteheads showing perfectly. Thanks so much for your tip. I am wondering how this happened though.....maybe because I imported it from an International sauce.?? Anyway, problem...

Missing Notes on new PDF files

I am using Finale 25 on a Macbook Pro (high Sierra). I have purchased a set of music which I was to download and read, and see correctly in Preview prior to printing. However, when I actually print anything out, the noteheads (not the the stems) are all missing. Sent it to my wife's P.C. who printou...

Re: Clef changes

Hi again, I sent you the wrong version (one I finalised by another route (I forget now) but look at this one where I was starting the change to bass clef. Again look at Trom 5.
Thanks for your persistence.

Re: Clef changes

Thanks for your reply. I will try to attach it again. I tried to change Trom 5 to bass clef but a few bars later it reverts to treble clef.Incidentally, I don't appear to have the "select'deselect" box you refer to in my F2014.5
