I have suddenly lost the curser and scrolling on playback. I have Finale PrintMusic 2010 and have never had this issue before. I have searched and can't find any playback settings, are there any on this version, if so where?

When this happens in Finale, I reboot my computer.

In that case, recreate the Preference file.

PrintMusic’s playback settings are much less than Finale’s. Your Help files will show you where they are.

I spent hours looking at the help content to no avail. But I did discover the keyboard shortcuts. In despair I tried a few out and eureka !
By pressing on the space bar and clicking on a bar not only did playback start but the green cursor and scrolling reappeared much to my relief.
