Why Yellow Stems
Moderators: Peter Thomsen, miker
I have Finale version 25 for Windows 10. As I am inputting music, from time to time I have been getting many notes with yellow stems, although they print out as black. I never did with version 2014. Any ideas what is causing this?

My advice - ignore it. You can turn off "color unlinked items" in Preferences, Display Colors.

OK. So I read the old posts about orange stems. They looked yellow to me. Anyway, they still don't answer the problem. The file I'm working on is not an old file being updated. It is a brand new file in v. 25. The music is a harp part - no transposition. Finale needs to fix this bug!

Yellow stems can mean that there is a difference between the score and the part. An edit was made unlinking the 2. If you have a file we can examine, we might be able to give more insight. I wouldn't call this a bug until all has been explored.
