It could be your specs. You didn't list them, but Finale is a heavy user of memory. You might need more RAM, or a faster processor. Without knowing your exact specs, there's no way to know for sure.

PrintMusic is even more powerful, and the cost is still reasonable.

You need at least SongWriter to do this.

Cool that we can at least buy it, though it is unclear whether upgraders from lower versions get the DVD. It's irrelevant to me, as the $400 upgrade is beyond my range, but at least I can buy the DVD...

Fritz, I had not considered spelling. I will try it with the period, and hope that it works.
