Thanks MJ and Mark for all that information. I figured there might be a way to accomplish what I wanted to do, but I couldn't find it in the manual. As for version, I just downloaded the trial version yesterday and was running it for the first time. The splash screen says "trial Version 2.2".

As for the mystery crash, This is a used machine that I just bought a few weeks ago. As I mentioned, I'm not completely convinced the problem has anything to do with Notation Composer. If it happens again I will jot down all the details of what I was doing at the time.

Thanks,
