I'm using OS 10.10.5 with Finale 2014.5.  In editing a score, I want to adjust the lyrics on one staff to avoid a collision with phrase marks.  I can move the 3rd triangle, but the lyrics do not change position.

Make sure you have selected the correct verse number and layer number as well.

Double-clicking on a lyric will automatically select the proper layer and verse.

Funny how the program works sometimes.  I had written the lyrics straight-through, so verse number wasn't a problem.  The layer was correct.  But I still couldn't get the 3rd triangle to shift the lyrics in that system until I double-clicked on the lyric.  Then it worked.....magic (?)  Thanks Dean and Mike for responding to me.

Occasionally I've found that, when the page to the left hasn't completely cleared the margin, I seem to be choosing the triangles for the wrong page.

I have also noticed that on occasion, when I try to click a triangle, it does not "take" on the first try. Am not sure why, but usually a second try does select the triangle.

(In neither of these instances was the question one of verse or chorus number.)

 

I blame gremlins, who have been known to inhabit computers (the way fairies inhabit country gardens) since the beginning.

For those of us who put no stock in such superstitions, it's JOOTT. (Just one of those things...)

 

However, the Arisians who may have not properly considered their Visualization of the Cosmic All are certainly a possibility.
