Make two short systems in the Page Layout tool. Suppress the cautionary clef and time signature at the end of the first with the measure attributes. Back in the Page Layout tool, uncheck "avoid margin collisions" and drag them side by side.

Somehow you're triggering respacing. I suggest doing the fine tweaking late in the game, after all other edits are done. Then turn off automatic music spacing and do your beat spacing.

I suspect Hyperscribe is hiccuping at the meter changes when your beat is a quarter, which is why I suggested eighths. Normally, this shouldn't be necessary.

If I'm understanding correctly, that sounds like it would be confusing. I'm with Mike--write it out.

What kind of changes?

Is Automatic Update Layout turned on?

In the Hyperscribe / Beat Source / Play and/or Click dialog, what is Beat Equals: set to? If longer than an eighth note, try setting it to an eighth note, upping the tempo if necessary.

Make a staff style that turns off clefs and apply it to all but the first measure. You can turn off key signatures and time signatures at the same time.

Did you copy your templates into the new version's directory? Since it's a File Manager error, sounds like it's something like that rather than a Finale problem. Make sure Preferences/Folders/Templates is correct.

The staff tool can be used to adjust the space between systems (dragging the top staff of a system) but I agree the Page Layout tool is the better way to go. I don't know why music is disappearing, though. If you have hard page breaks it may have moved on to a future page. If you have Automatic Upda...

If they're unlinked, you can drag them manually in one part without affecting the others, if that helps. Changing the frame attributues affects all, as you have discovered.

It might run on Windows. I still have Finale 2005 on Windows 10.

The serial number might be the same for Allegro 2000 and Allegro 2005, if the latter was n upgrade. I've always had the same serial number for Finale.

From the Staff tool. select the staff in the systems where you want it hidden and pick Hide Empty Staves from the menu.

In the system with the ossia measure, you'll have to hide the empty measures on either side of it with the staff style "Force Hide Staff (Cutaway)".

I'm talking about Utilities/Check notation/Check ties, which you already discovered. Perhaps it's wrong to call it a plug-in. In my experience, JW Validate will give a large number of false positives, so if you use it, it's best done once at the end when you have time to slog through it.

It only seems to happen when you copy in vertically into the same (numbered) measure No, it happens no matter where you copy it to, also if you, for instance, only copy a part of the note value, like a quarter) Another quick approach Yes, there are a few ways of fixing it afterwards. The real probl...

You seem to have discovered a bug--Finale leaves the "tie end" attribute set on the target note, which hides the accidental. It only seems to happen when you copy in vertically into the same (numbered) measure. A JW plug-in is not going to help you prevent it from happening; there's nothing there fo...

All you need do is put the Simple or Speedy cursor over the rest and press /

The problem is or was that some of the dynamics and hairpins were attached to the wrong staff.

Under Finale's Audio Setup the only choice is Realtek ASIO.

Well, now F2014.5 won't play at all. The playback cursor hangs in the first bar. Scrubbing doesn't work. 2011 works fine. The people in MM technical support throw up their hands.

I'm getting near the end of my rope with Finale. Finally have a 64-bit machine, so am able to run Dorico now.

On my system it's hard to tell. What's the solution if so?

Not that I've found. If you find a solution, please let us know.

Breath marks on rests not necessary.

Useful in many ways in Finale.

You mean changing the percentage actually creates manual adjustments where there were none?

I haven't done that. I applied them all with a metatool. I did run various plug-ins, so maybe one of them did it. Or else just another Finale quirk.
