I just want to make sure that there aren't others who may have experience using them who can warn of any traps or problems I may be opening up.

There can be timing issues if you use it to do a series of things in Finale, and you may have to put in pauses whose length must be determined by trial and error. If you can do it with Finalescript you're better off, since it doesn't seem to have such issues.

| Posted By : La Leyenda - 11/8/2013 9:00 PM | | Yes, it's often a good idea to include pauses for certain lengthy scripts. |
| Posted By : Motet - 11/8/2013 9:06 PM | It doesn't have to be lengthy. If you type something in a form, for example, you may need to put in a delay before clicking the OK button. Autohotkey can type and click faster than a human, and Finale sometimes cannot keep up.
