Since I switched to Finale v26 a while ago, I've been having issues with the score manager.
Whenever I want to add an instrument in the drop-down menu, it disappears when I click on something, any of the instruments or categories, and nothing has happened. Similarly, when I add a blank stave and try to assign an instrument to it via the drop-down menu, it also disappears.

Changing sample libraries doesn't solve the issue either.

Any ideas?

Restart Finale.
Shut down and reboot the computer.
Refresh the preferences.

Thank you!
That indeed does the trick (most of the times).
Hope they fix this bug soon...

I am finding that this is the solution more often than not in these situations of sudden, unexpected unresponsiveness. It tends to be my first step in trouble-shooting these things. When it works, I'm happy!
