Too many beats in this measure window sticks and will not close - every time I exit a measure, wanting to move the extra notes to the next measure, this window sticks, and after one session, all of them are still in the background and I have to quit to get rid of them.

What is your Mac OS? Finale 2014 won’t run past Catalina.

In that case, try recreating the preferences.

Do you have "Check For Extra Notes" checked?
It's a real Can-O'-Worms if you don't!

forgive me but where is "Check for extra notes"?
and
which preferences do you think would apply to this problem?
I hope I don't have to reinstall the program and lose all my settings .. :(

I think I will just have to work around this issue, I can use the measure tool or the note mover tool to adjust
Thanks very much unless you have more specifics ... :)

check for extra notes has been selected -
maybe I should unselect it and try it that way ...
