Hello,
 
I have installed Finale 2011 on my desktop pc and I am having the same problem I had with Finale 2010. When using speedy entry for awhile, the right ctrl key stops working not allowing me to insert rests while pressing ctrl+shift. This is really frustrating because I have to save my work, close Finale and than restart the program to correct the problem. I know this can't be the ctrl key sticking because I was having the same problem on my laptop with Finale 2010. I never had this problem until I started using Finale 2010 and now 2011. Any help will be greatly appreciated!
 
Thanks

I just installed Finale 2011 and discovered that I can't move measures up and down systems. Until now it was a simple "selection/Mass edit tool" or "measure tool" and pres up or down arrow keys.

Now it's "selection tool" CTRL+UP/DOWN arrows. But it doesn't work on either old scores or the default one. Is it something I'm doing wrong?? Or we can start a bug list for 2011 minutes after installing?


P.S. Pressing CTRL+DOWN instead of moving measures shows (un-hiddes) the hidden staff in the system bellow.

You have to use the Shift+up/down arrows to move up and down measures

Did you bother to do the tutorials?

If the composer says in effect to the performer: "I do not care whether you perform my music or not," we cannot argue the matter. But if he indicates: "I want you to perform and respond to this music," then his fundamental duty is to write his music so that it is accessible to interpretation. When the performer cannot approach the composer's meaning because of capriciously obscure notation, he may in effect say to the composer: "Why should I bother to puzzle out your music?" - Gardner Read

Yes I did, that's why I knew it's supposed to be CTRL+up/down arrows.
The problem is that it's not working when I go to the "Utilities" menu and click on "move to previous system" or "move to next system"! So it's not a stuck key or something.

I see what you mean. It does say to use the ctrl key but it only works by using the shift key. When I tried using the ctrl+up/down arrows my program stopped responding for some strange reason.

Using the Shift+arrow key just adds/removes the upper or lower staves in the system.
I noticed that with the exception of music spacing (note/beat/time) none of the options do anything, either by key shortcuts, or menu clicking. I mean nothing. I select fit measure 6 measures per system and nothing at all.

Sorry, but I don't really use the fit measures as much. So I really don't know what the ctrl up/down arrows are suppose to do.
I'm already frustrated with the right ctrl key issue using speedy entry!!!

I bet that you are accidentally pressing a key combination of some sort. Does the problem persist after rebooting?

Yes, the problem corrects itself when I restart finale until it decides to stop working again!

How old is your keyboard? Sounds like a sticking key issue.

Sometimes people inadvertantly press wrong keys. Be VERY careful (I know, it sounds too obvious) whenever you use this key combination, and wait to see if the problem re-occurrs. Try setting up a test document and deliberately try to make it fail. It it doesn't happen when you are super careful, then it is probably an accidental key combination that turns it off.
