Hello!
It's been quite a while since I've been on Finale Forum, but have run into an issue today that I have not been able to fix. I found a user's post online for the SAME problem and tried the suggested solution, but it has not fixed the problem. Here's a screen shot of what the other user posted, and it's exactly the same problem that I am having (I have used V. 26 for a few years and have never had this problem until today).

Rather than a screen shot, attach a (small) sample of your Finale document.
Then, I am confident that the gurus here can find the culprit, by examining the document.

Have you tried Utilities -> Update Layout ?

Thanks for the suggestion to Update Layout. I tried that, but no success!

Basically the file is 72 measures long, and I can see all of it in Scroll view. However, when I try to print the entire file, it only prints through measure 66.

If I try to print just the last page of the song, it prints measures 62-72!!

I'm stumped!! A copy of the file is attached. I appreciate any additional help you can provide.

I see all the measures and can print all the measures, but I'm on a Mac.

It prints fine as it is on (my) Windows. But you have a somewhat strange layout from measure 65 on (only 2 measures on page 7) and then measure 67 to the end on page 8. Try Utilities > Fit Measures > Remove System Locks > All measures, then pull the last and only measure from page 8 to page 7. I then still see a blank page 8, but Page Layout > Delete blank pages should get rid of it. Of course this is all just a guess. The layout suggestion might not apply to the file contaning all the music.

Prints OK for me on Windows, though mm. 1-64 are empty (I assume intentionally). I don't see what mmike describes with Finale 2014.5.

If things were working fine but suddenly are not, and you've tried rebooting, it might be time for this:

This is a long shot, but what if someone sends it back to him? Not me since I am on a Mac.

THANK YOU to everyone who has tried to help me solve this dilemma.

I was able to print the attached sample file that MMike sent on 12/7 with no problem.

After taking a few days off to work on other projects (and to stop beating my head against the wall), I found that unlocking all measures and resizing the music somehow fixed the problem! (I was originally trying to print it out to make sure I didn't have any "theory no-no's" before resizing it).

I am VERY appreciative of your help. Whenever I get stumped on a Finale issue, I can always count on those at FinaleForum.com to help solve my issue.

Thanks again!!!!
