Hi Mark,
When I extract parts, I *always* want to have the complete set of parts plus the score open at once. This makes it much easier to correct any mistakes -- and there are always one or two -- that I only notice while formatting the parts. I also want to be able to look at decisions I made when laying out Reed 1 when I lay out Reed 2, etc.
Fin2004 has made this impossible for me. There are workarounds, like printing the parts as they are finished and marking them up by hand, (instead of printing all of them at the end), but that ends up wasting both time and paper.
Also, in the composition process, I often have drafts and sketches in several different files that I want to combine into a single file. Or maybe I want to A/B two different versions of the same passage. Etc.

Right. Sorry to keep harping on this, but MacSupport told me that they have not received very many bug reports on this -- which is kind of mysterious to me, given how common the problem is, and given the tediousness of the workaround.
I'm not challenging your claim, just genuinely curious. How common is it, really?
I rarely if ever have two Finale files open at the same time, and Martin just wrote in another post that he doesn't either. On the other hand, you seem to do it fairly often.
How about everyone else out there? Is it common for you to have more than one file open in Finale at a time? If so, is it because you actually work on both files simultaneously, or do you just like to leave inactive files open in the background?
