Darcy,
FWIW, if you had had autosave *on*, you could have reverted to the most recently auto-saved version of the quartet score and it probably would have been okay. Autosave is safe in Fin2005a (but not Fin2004).
I didn't know that (sigh). OK, it's now on.
You can usually solve this by using Expos� -- hit F10 to show all your Finale windows, then click the one you want. This seems to "remind" Finale which window is in front.
I'll keep this in mind, too.
Did you get a message prompting you to save changes when you quit? Or did Finale just quit without prompting you?
No. I just did the usual: time to quit, best to save (and yes, I, too, have that annoying "it doesn't seem to be saved after I just saved it" greyed-out icon in the title bar), then quit.
Autosave also helps, as I said. The "official" solution is to never have multiple files open simultaneously, which, for my work, is Not Acceptable.
That's baloney. Let's go back to pre-MultiFinder days, too, while we're at it!
I wish we could find the steps to reproduce the problem, because this is a big one.
The next time I have to files open I'll take more care to note what I'm doing, in case I get bitten again.
Andrew
