You haven't exactly "wrought" this. This stuff has to do with 2005 and its staff lists.

That may be, but I think it's something else. I tried the same procedure with FinMac 2004c and got some interesting results.


1) I had kept the original score, which was created in WinMac 2001 (rev 1?). I opened it up in FinMac 2004c (I don't have a version earlier than that on my hard drive).

2) I extracted the flute part. No problem.

3) I ran the Smart Explosion TGTool and it hung again, though at a different point. Before it had gotten to "Pasting..."; now it hung before that, at "Optimizing regions."

4) Here's the catch: I got a "Ctree error 2 in CTOTHERS:1206" error. Ad infinitum. I couldn't get out of it without force quitting Finale.

5) I tried again with 2004c: extracted the part no problem. This time I thought to try other TGTools: Modify slurs, Fit Music, Join rests of multiple layers, and Make spacing at end of measure. ALL of them worked fine, and very quickly.

6) Ran Smart Explosion, and now the same hanging and Ctree error (though hanging now on "Deleting part spec" (can't read my own handwriting!)).

Do I have a file problem? There was a Finale version some versions back that created problems with files, that a later utility would check out. Could this be it?

Oy!

Any help is welcome.
