I've had a similar problem once or twice, where I had multiple windows open (WinFin) and when I went from one window to another, the wrong music was displayed on screen, based on the title bar. Say I had the three movements of a piano quartet open (something I would do when it's ready to print, since I have to do page layout and set the page offsets). After a certain point, I cycle around the open windows, and two of them have the same content, even though the filenames are different. I did lose a file once, but, fortunately, I had one previous saved version because of the BAK files. But I've never been able to reproduce the bug. Something similar seems to have happened, but I didn't save changes and didn't lose anything. This was in WinFin97, and maybe in WinFin2K3. In WinFin2K3 I've also seen problems with the multiple document interface, where the minimize/maximize/close buttons in the upper right did not appear when and where they were supposed to. It works like this, when it happens: You open document 1. When only one window is open, the MDI works by having only one set of min/max/close buttons, the ones for the parent application window (this is normal). You work for a while. You open document 2. At that point, normal behavior should be that now you'd get a subsidiary set of min/max/close buttons for each of the child windows. Indeed, when the document windows are not maximized, each child window has its own set of min/max/close widgets. If you are working with the document window maximized inside the application window, you should see two sets of min/max/close widgets as you cycle through the open documents. But what you instead get when you return to document 1 is a window without its own widgets, so you can't close that particular window by itself. Indeed, you can't even go to the FILE menu and choose CLOSE -- it's enabled, but it won't close (the keyboard shortcut, Ctrl-W, doesn't work, either). The only way to close the document is to close Finale. I can't reproduce it. I don't know why or when it happens, but I wouldn't be surprised if all of these problems in regard to multiple open documents are related in some way. And it makes me not trust Finale. -- David W.
