Hi all,

I remember reading a while back about how Finale sometimes overwrites a file when more than one file is open. I seem to have been bitten by this bug, but I can't reconstruct what I did, as an hour passed before I noticed it. What I think happened is this:

I had a score ("Big 1") open I was working on.

I opened another file ("Small 2"), made a small edit, printed it, and closed it.

Went back to working on my (still open) "Big 1" score. The next time I saved it, it saved under the name and location of the OTHER file, overwriting it.

When I later went to open "Small 2", I got my completed "Big 1" score instead. The file saved under the name "Big 1" was the version I last saved just before I opened the "Small 2" score at around noon, and so was incomplete.

Small 2 is gone, gone, gone. When I look to see if I can undo what I did in the file called Small 1 (to go back to before the file was overwritten), the Undo lists are greyed out.

Is this comparable to what others have observed? I don't use Fin2004 much yet, so I don't know whether this bug is still around, but it is definitely there in FinMac2003.
