[Finale] Finale copying over existing music

Yet another new bug in Finale 2010B
OS 10.5.6
MacBook Pro
4gb ram
I have stopped using 2 monitors as Finale does not seem to get along with that 
setup!

I finished arrangements and find that all of sudden, music is copied at the end 
of the chart.  This has happened on 4 out of 26 songs in the last 3 days.   One 
song, I edited the lyric, was about to close and save the file and now the 
lyrics are gone and the old melody is pasted at the end.  I'll have to type in 
the lyrics again.  I printed parts and found this out.  Some I found before 
printing.  At least I see that the full arrangement is not gone as I first 
thought.

On these arrangements, we recorded the ww, brass and rhythm then recorded the 
strings.  When I went to page layout the strings, I didn't want to overwrite 
the layouts of the ww, brass and rhythm so I made a copy of the file then said 
generate parts and did page layout on the strings.  The only alternative I know 
would be to create a new part without using generate parts.

Anyway, has anyone experienced anything like this?  Any suggestions?  Lately, I 
am having all kinds of bugs suddenly show up on Finale 2010 after working 
properly, then suddenly something happens unexpectedly.  Very frustrating!
Thanks, Bonnie
