I'll second the copy-ignores-edits bug.
Also, when I work with layers, Finale's TAB default will often put two notes on one string. Layer 2 is not aware that layer 1 has already placed a note on that string.
The internal logic should be "layer 1 takes precedence over layer 2." Then if I put high pitches in layer 1, layer 2 (lower pitches) would be bumped to lower pitched strings. This would serve us better than the current lack of layer-awareness.
The copy-ignores-edits bug and the two-notes-on-one-string bug are real time wasters.

This is why I still use Finale 2001 for tablature, for the most part.
Consider a simple 3-note G chord, G/B/G should be 3/0/0 on the first three
strings. Finale wants to render it as 3/x/4/5. OK, I can edit that to 3/0/0.
When I drag copy/paste the edit is untouched, but when I command-C/command-V
copy and paste (on Mac), it reverts to its default. And of course, to paste
or insert into a new file, that's the only way to go. It was this way in
2003, and it's _still_ this way in 2005. Unbelievable!

Hi,
I just did a transcription of the guitars in Average White Band's "Cut The
Cake"... However, when I copied the TABs that I had set up for playability
and sound into a new file I noticed that all this information was lost:
Finale just assigned the lowest frets possible instead of leaving them as
they were.
So I had to print them from the original file separately instead of just
extracting all parts in the new arrangement. Or I would have had to set
them up again from scratch.
This is rather disappoining - Anyone else who had the same problem? Is there a work around or solution?
