Hey y'all. I just bought a Logitech G13 on prime day. Anyone have a macro profile they could share with me for Finale 2014.5? Would save me some time.

Thanks in advance.

I've been investigating this very controller for a while now. It would be interesting, if you have the time, for you to report back here on the ways you've found to use it within your workflow.

I'm not sure how much I can help, but will offer a few tips anyway. I have a 5 button Logitech mouse that I have programmed to assist with my workflow. Two of the buttons are taken up with click and right click, which leaves a grand total of 3 that can be used for other macros. I've programmed my favorites thusly:

√ Trigger keystroke "Escape", which automatically engages the Selection Tool.
√ Trigger keystroke "Shift Click" to select multiple items.
√ Select the Staff Tool which is not accessible directly through the Selection Tool.
