Greetings all, every once and a while, during playback, the scroll bar doesn't appear (see screenshot, taken during playback). Does anyone know how to re-activate it? It still shows on other pieces, so it isn't a universal problem. Just started happening, so haven't been able to track any patterns. Thanks in advance!

When that happens, I would try restarting the computer.

Thanks for your reply. Sorry, I was remiss in stating that I've tried closing the file, Finale, and restarting my computer. :-) I'm hoping to find a bona fide option for viewing and hiding the scroll bar, if there is one.

In the playback control window, there is a checkbox for scrolling playback.

Hi Miker, you know, that is the first place I looked, and didn't see anything. However, rather than simply posting that back to you, based on your reply, I figured I must have missed something (pilot error is always my first suspicion, heh), and in double checking, I saw that I'd missed the little expansion triangle of the playback controls, so one click, and voila, there was the option. Thanks so much!! I've gotten so many answers to questions here in the past, and I continue to appreciate those of you who are able and willing to help me out!
