Does anyone have the problem in 25.2 that the new Measure Number Bar in Studio View is misplaced ?
By the way, I wanted to report it to Support, and could not find the "Ask a Question" I'm familiar with. The website of MM is now a terrible mess.

Yes, I have the same lack of alignment in Studio View, however Scroll View is spot on.

On W10 F25.2 does not exhibit the misalignment issue as on Mac, so maybe it's a Mac thing.

It was mentioned on the Windows side that the measure bar does not update if you enter a number in the measure box and enter, although the score scrolls to the correct measure. This can be corrected by a screen refresh. If using the scroll arrows, the measure bar does update as expected. This is true in either Scroll or Studio View.

Definitely a Mac problem. It is so easy to notice that it makes you wonder if the feature was seriously tested.
By the way, can anyone here explain to me how to now create a Support ticket with "Ask a question"... ? Things must have changed, and the labyrinth that is the website got me lost.

Is the new measure bar shown in studio and scroll view? I updated to 25.2 and I don't see it.

Yes, it is only shown in Studio and Scroll View. There is a preference in "Edit->Preferences...->New" to turn this feature on/off, but the default is on. There is also a "View->Show->Measure Number Bar" setting that may be off for you.

Is that on the Mac, I looked and couldn't find it in Preferences.

Yes. it is actually in the Finale menu -> Preferences -> New, at the bottom of the window.
Also, like Charles explained, in the View Menu -> Show -> Measure Number Bar.

Thanks I got it. I see that the studio view is off by 1 measure but the scroll view is right on.

This has been acknowledged by Tech Support as as bug. Their suggestion is far from reliable, I gave up...

"This is a bug in Finale version 25.2. We do not have a fix for this yet, but I do have a work around.

1. open your document
2. Go to Studio View
3. Go to Scroll View
4. Use the Hand Grabber tool
5. Click and Drag the music on screen to the left. ( You're trying to Mimic how things looked in studio as close as possible)
6. Switch back to Studio View

Let me know how this works for you"

The easiest workaround is to do a screen refresh. On Windows it is a CTRL-D. Find it under "View->Redraw Screen".

Thank you Charles, but a screen refresh (Cmd-D on the Mac) doesn't seem to solve the problem.
