Derek Hakes,
I'm up to date on Finale. Actually, everything is fine for what I do, except the stuff they changed that was easier then than now.
For example, I used to put a rest in place of a note by merely clicking the note again. Now I have to Shift Click, which means either using two hands or contortions with the right hand. (Yes, contortions! when one is a bit arthritic!!)
Why oh why?! 😫
There are a couple of other things like that -- I'm not on Finale at the moment so can't remember exactly what. But they take two hands or contortions with the right hand. Oh, using Back instead of Delete is another change.
I'll never understand why something that worked is changed in almost everything one does with a computer as one upgrades.
Also, I find that googling the answers produces all sorts of opinions from people who do it this way, or that way, or another way. it becomes a search process, which takes time.
You all may be laughing at me now, but I'm baring my soul as an advanced senior citizen who has a harder time understanding technology than those younger than I.
If I were you, I'd keep up so you don't end up as a dinosaur or petrified wood when you reach 75+! 😆
