Finale Version: Using 26, testing 27
Operating System: Mac

I was going to set some shortcuts for Finale using System Settings > Keyboard > Keyboard Shortcuts > App Shortcuts but I can't get it to work. It has worked fine for me in previous OS versions but with 14.2.1 when I get to the setup page it allows me to put in the Main Title, but not the menu command I want the shortcut for. I've tried some other apps like TextEdit and I can't get it to work there either.

Has anyone else experienced this problem?

Thanks ::: Bill

It is well known that there are problems with Finale and custom shortcut programming in Mac OS Sonoma.

By The Way:
Your post reveals that you have Finale v27.3.

There is a free update to 27.4 - could not hurt to try it.

Fortunately I don't use 27 or Sonoma for most of my work other than testing, so I will be patient.

Thanks, as always, for your help and your leadership here.
