My solution for this is to create two scores: one with the tie ends for print, and another fully written out for playback. Not ideal, but it works for me…

My solution plays back correctly.

I’ll certainly try again. Thanks for the tip.

I used the Mac keyboard shortcuts until I switched to Keyboard Maestro. Either way, you can set up to open on your desired duration.

And it sure is easier than dealing with measure number regions!

As you have it. Fermatas should be closest to the note.

Here’s a link to a tutorial I wrote:

You might also consider reducing the size of the lower (optional) note, rather than using parentheses. A reduction to about 70% works well, and (to my eye, at least) looks less cluttered.

When you select a subforum - Beginners, General Finale Help, etc. - you will see a New Topic button. Click on it.

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...
