How do I get the Finalescript palette to close automatically after running a script? Is there a final script command that should be added to do that?

I am remarkably Finalescript syntax-challenged.

Thanks.

You have in Finale script options a "Don't show Palette when calling a script from the menu"

Playing with a menu shortcut, keyboard shortcut and this option might get you what you need. Haven't tried yet.

Yup. That worked. Thanks!

Hi Arthur,

You shall also trigger this programmatically by using the command
dont show palette
or:
hide palette

In other words, you may leave the option unchecked in the general Finalescript prefs and hide the palette for some specific script.

sorry to jump on this thread but I have this problem and can't seem to get rid of it.

I have 'Don't show palette when calling from menu' checked

I also added both those lines you mentioned to the script itself and I still get the palette pop up after all is done (I also have 'generate detailed report' unchecked)

any ideas?

Not sure if I can help--remember, I said earlier how Finale syntax-challenged I am!

I wonder if the behavior is different on a Mac. I'm on a PC.

Do all of your scripts behave similarly, or just this one?

Try a restart.

If that doesn't work, I might try erasing the script and rewriting it from scratch.

Finale 2011c r1

this affects all scripts. Have tried restarts, basic system optimizing - permissions etc.

thanks

I'm not a Mac user, but I might try a reinstallation, and then if the problem persists, I'd contact MM.

Specifically, which version of Finalescript? (Finalescript/Preferences/about)

This special version might help!

Just to confirm, Robert:

I had this particular problem as well, and the special version you posted did the trick.

Thanks!
