How can I clear the "Open Recent" list of files? Surely there must be a way, but I have been unable to find it. I do know how to prevent the list from appearing or to change the number of files that appear in the list, but I want to clear the list and start fresh.

Hi John

edit menu>preferences will allow you to reset the number of recent files to a minimum of 1. That is your only option that I am aware of

Hi Phil,

Setting the number of recent files to 1 does not clear the list.

Is it possible that this sophisticated program has such an elementary shortcoming that I discovered as a complete beginner?

Hi john

I think so - but you will learn to love it's eccentricities as we all have.

Just think of it as a beginner might regard a piece of jazz - they might not like it at first but if they persevere, the lucky ones will be rewarded

Yeah but if a newcomer to jazz notices that the band is unknowingly playing 13 bars for a 12-bar blues the newcomer would have a reason to suspect the musicianship of the players.

As with most any application, you can simply delete the preferences file. Note that this will reset ALL your preferences back to default, so you'll need to redo those you have changed.
