Simon, <br class="">
<div class="moz-forward-container"> <br class="">
changing the font settings in FCCategoryDef doesn't automatically
update the settings in FCTextExpressionDef.<br class="">
So you need to also update the font settings in
FCTextExpressionDef - even if FCTextExpressionDef is set to
"UseCategoryFont".<br class="">

Hello all,
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">It seems that when I create a text expression and
assign it to a category, a part of the saving process is not
complete.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">The expression is created, appears in the right
category and wherever I want in the score.</div>
<div class="">But if I change the font settings of that category
afterwards, the expression I created won’t follow, unless I
open that expression and click on “OK” in its own window.
Another way is to open the edit window of that category,
select the expression and click on “Reset to category”.</div>
<div class="">After that, the expression will update any changes
made to the category.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Expressions that were created manually (directly
in Finale) will update themselves both in the expression
dialog window and in the score, just by changing the settings
of the category.</div>
<div class="">Mine won’t.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">It is a very small detail but I was wondering if
anyone else has experienced the same thing.<br class="">
