| Posted 11/14/2016 6:42 AM (GMT -6) |   | I just started using Finale 2014.5 and can't program the Staff Tool successfully as one of the Control-F, G, H, J, K, L, ;, ' keys on the Master Tool Palette. The other tools I tried work fine and the Staff Tool programing works fine in 2014. Previous files that have had the Staff Tool programmed successfully are also affected in 2014.5.
Is this a known bug?
If so, I wonder if it has to do with the fact that the Staff Tool has the identifying number 0.

| Posted 11/14/2016 8:56 AM (GMT -6) | | Yes, this is a known bug (which has been discussed here in the forum), and indeed the culprit is the number 0 - it should be 1.
Try this:
In this example let us say that you want to program the letter K key for the Staff Tool.
While holding down ctrl-alt, hit the letter K key.
In the Master Tool Palette dialog, in the field Tool, type ‘1’.
Click OK.
From now - in this document*) - the shortcut ctrl-K will take you to the Staff Tool.

*) These tool metatools are Finale document specific, not Finale program specific.
You can have other tool metatools in other documents.

| Posted 11/14/2016 10:33 AM (GMT -6) | | Thanks so much, Peter, I should have tried that, but couldn't find a list of tools with their identifying numbers anywhere.
Dr. Wiggy, I have used the OS X Keyboard shortcuts for a while now for the reason you mentioned, but since I constantly go back and forth between PDFs and Finale, I finally had my fill of the focus bug and thought I would try the Master Tool route instead.
However, I just ditched both and started using Keyboard Maestro and so far I am a very happy camper!

I could be wrong here, but I do not think that there is a such list in the online manual.
Instead, it is “trial-and-error”.
I first tried with the number 1 …
