Damn -- I thought I had dodged the problem, but I got bit by it anyway -- on a different file!

Here's the MacSupport note:

Hi Allen & co.,

Just an update -- when I noticed the printing problem with the last file, I tried opening a second instance of the file (without quitting Finale), which fixed the problem. However, I continued to work without quitting Finale, until just a moment ago, when it abruptly became impossible to select anything with any tool.

I went through each file one by one and manually saved it and closed it. Then I quit Finale. When I relaunched Finale, the file I had been working on when the problem with selecting things occurred had been replaced with different content. I have attached it here:

It was originally a chorus part with piano reduction, but it's been replaced with the content of the Harp part for this piece. I don't know if you can glean anything from this file, but take a look and see if it tells you anything.

For comparison purposes, here is the most recent auto-saved version of the same file:

Let me know if I can give you any other info that might help pin this down.

Cheers,

CC: of message I sent to Allen and MacSupport, minus the attached files:

Hi Allen, guys,

Allen, I know you're going to NAMM but hopefully you get a chance to look at this when you get back.

I think I may have an instance of the File Overwrite bug in action. This is in Fin2005a. I have 22 documents open. The frontmost document -- "08 The Gallows 2005.mus" -- is *displaying* the *content* of that file (a score), but when I go to print, the file that actually prints is a different (also currently open) file -- "WitCan - 002 Percussion 2005.mus" ( a part). I have confirmed this printing error twice.

I am sending you both files in their current states. When you open "08 The Gallows 2005.mus," does it look like a score, or a part? When you print it, does the printout match the screen contents, or does it print a percussion part instead?

UPDATE: when I open a second instance of the part, it prints correctly. I'm going to save the problematic instance under a different name and see what happens.
