I couldn't find this using the search functions, so I'll quickly explain the problem...

When using simple entry in Finale 2004, the use of multiple layers often causes the notes to be vertically misaligned. How do I prevent this? I don't want to mess around correcting the spacing every time this happens.

Thanks in advance.

Could you attach a file to demonstrate the problem?

I find it hard to believe that this could have been overlooked in beta testing... hopefully a fix will come soon (or I sure won't be paying for any future versions) :(

This is not a new problem (does it in 2002 and 2003), and it is not unique to simple entry (speedy does it too). Finale adjusted the second to the right because you had that option in music spacing. Then you changed the note to make it a fourth away, if I followed your movie, Finale thought it was still a second away. That may be a bug, but by highlighting the measure or measures in mass edit, and applying retranscribe, it aligns things correctly. Try this and see if it helps. If not, then forget everything I just said.

You can do this faster.
I've got this often (but I use speedy to enter notes). finale does the music spacing for me (nice boy ! :-)), but when i open an older document (eg. made with finale98), the music spacing isn't correct. by highlighting all the measures with mass edit - retranscribe it's done like Zuill said, but if you have to change from speedy/simple every time you see that fault, it takes long. so i just go some measures before the fault (in speedy) and with the arrows on your keyboard (i cannot speak english good :s) you go to the right until you're after the fault measure. then you just need to click somewhere out of the staff and finale spaces everything.

grtz

Somehow I can't seem to get that method to help for this bug, but I'm glad it works for older documents.
