I recently completed a piece that was composed pretty much entirely within Finale. This process of working entailed a lot of Mass Mover Copy/Replace and Copy/Insert, the latter of which I found particularly dangerous in terms of corrupting files.
Maybe as a result of this way of working, I'm finding the file incredibly slow to work with. Any simple operation, e.g. going in and out of Speedy Entry, can result in a spinning note cursor for 5-10, even 20 seconds. The file isn't that big, about 500 bars of string quartet, but it's immensely irritating (Finale 2002 on Mac). I've tried doing a Data Check to remove deleted items but with no discernable difference. SO... I would like to copy and paste the whole file into a new document. In the past when I've tried this, things like clefs as well as measure-attached expressions have moved around or done things like ignored staff lists and be put into every staff. Does anyone have immense experience with doing things like this, i.e. successfully? Any helpful tips gratefully received.
