Will do.

Fixed now. ISP attack.

The only reason I brought that up was because of Ander's question about half-page viewing. Normally, I use it in portrait, with the full page. But I'm not an instrumentalist, who may need the larger print on a half page from a distance.

On an iPad with ForScore, turning the iPad to horizontal gives you half-page advances. And a larger scale.

I've noticed it, too.

What happens when you try? Does it export other formats?

Just as a guess: it looks like you started the cross-staff in the top, and dragged notes to the bottom. What happens if you start in the bottom, and drag the cross-staff notes up?

That’s an issue with Macs only, I believe. It’s been around since F26, if I recall correctly.

No known fix, I’m afraid.

I don’t think so. If you want finer control, you may just have to do it on a measure-by-measure, or at least a section-by-section basis. Or maybe do them all, and then step through and fix where needed.

Thanks, Peter. I’ll try to remember in future.

You can certainly update both. Nobody can guarantee you won't have any crashes, but there aren't any long standing issues that I know about.

You might also want to update your signature, since it shows you running F26 on Windows.

What's the time signature? You seem to have 3/4 and 4/4 in the top staff, and 3/4 in the bottom.

Count it up. You have 3 beats in layer two, in both staves. but if you count the layer one notes you come up with 4 beats. Cross-staffing them doesn't change anything, it's still 4 beats.

A QWERTY keyboard is a standard US keyboard, identified by the first letters it the top row.

And….

Poof! They’re gone.

I would uninstall, SHUT DOWN and restart the computer, and reinstall. Restart again.

Change the .bak to .musx and the files should open.

There are a lot of things that could be fixed. I'm not holding my breath for any of them. But I think it doesn't matter. If you enter the first note with the mouse, go through the ALT-9, OK, you get what you show. But if you tap RETURN at that point, the carat appears, and you can enter from there w...

Worked fine for me. The sequence in Simple, using the numberpad and QWERTY keyboard: 5, pitch, OPT-9 (ALT-9 on /windows.) Set 3 half notes in space of 2 half notes. OK 0 (zero) pitch 0 pitch 0 No backing up, no deletions, no Ëxtra Note setting. As I've mentioned before, some tuplets push a couple of...

Thank you for this thread, I have the same question and found this when I searched. Hope you are all doing great here. apex roofing

If you continue pulling up old threads and adding irrelevant comments, you will be banned. No further warnings.

Yes, that’s the font it showed. It’s a paid font, and I don’t need it, so I’ll pass on this one.

Your file opened with an incorrect font(s). Even after changing the font to Maestro, things were odd. So I can't offer much hope, except to say that maybe you should reduce the number of measures per line.

Make copies, and edit them individually. You’ll need a way to keep them straight, so maybe number or letter them,

You may find it easiest (I did, at least) to use the Mac keyboard shortcut setup, to avoid conflicting with other metatools.

Deauthorize Finale, uninstall, reboot, and reinstall. If it works properly, reinstall the plugins a few at a time (although I doubt that’s the provlem.)

In Simple entry, enter the first note, tap ALT-9 on your numberpad, set the numbers as 5, 16ths in the space of 4, sixteenths. OK. When you return to the score, enter the additional notes.

If you have a lot of these, check Set as Default. Then, enter the first note and tap just the 9.
