Finale Version 25 Mac
I have recently updated from finale 2014 for mac and with version 25 I can no longer write lyrics using greek fonts. When I try to do this and need to add a greek apostrophi (accent used in greek which is the semicolon key on keyboard) finale closes and I need to restart it.
Any ideas what could be triggering this? I've tried arial font, times new roman and afew other fonts but it still does this when it comes time to press the semicolon key and then the letter I need to add the accent.
Thanks

I chose the Greek keyboard layout, and the Finale Lyrics font. I was able to enter the character from the semicolon key, but I have no idea if this is how it's supposed to work. Is it entered alone, or is it a combining glyph where it should go over a character?
Edit: After playing around, it appears that it is a combining character, only appearing over some characters! So then, I tried a couple of characters with the "long press" method. For example, holding down the A (alpha) key brings up an alpha with an accent mark above it. Typing the number 1 inserts the character.
In the screen shot, I show the alpha, the semicolon+alpha, and the long press>1 character. They all worked in F25.

Thanks for trying this out. It must be an issue with my macbook touch and finale25. Finale 2014 is working fine.
Every time I try to type in greek and press the semicolon to add an accent on a letter finale shuts down.
I don't know what it could be.
Thanks for trying it out. I will continue to look into it.
