Hey all,
Now that I figured out the stupid 32-character filename limit, the actual batch font swap operation went relatively smoothl...
Oh wait, check that. Literally as I was typing the above sentence, Finale "unexpectedly quit" in the middle of processing my files.
[sigh]
Anyway, for the files that it *did* manage to process before it crashed, Finale found and replaced the fonts just as I asked. It turned out that I had multiple versions of "Palatia Bold" on my old machine(s) -- one called "Palatia Bold" and one called "PalatiaBold" (no space), but once I added them both to my script, everything was fine.
Except for the crashing, that is. I'll try it again and see if it can get through an entire set of parts this time.
At any rate, thanks so much to Dennis, Brad, and Allen for their assistance on this. Provided Finale doesn't crash in the middle of processing my files *every* time I try this, using FinaleScript sure beats doing it by hand.

Yep, I just tried it and that's it. For some godforsaken reason, FinaleScript (for Mac, at least) chokes when it has to create filenames longer than 32 characters -- so, even if the original filenames contain fewer than 32 characters, if appending the "_2k5" creates a filename longer than 32 characters, FinaleScript hangs and asks you to name the file manually.
Who at Coda should I report this bug to? I've given up sending bug reports just to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" -- that's become a black hole. Is there someone who specializes in FinaleScript issues? Or should I just send this to Allen?

Hmm...
I just noticed something... when opening some files with long filenames, the filename was truncated in the FinaleScript window, using the same method OS 9 uses to truncate long filenames. So, for example:
Az Der Rebe Elimelekh - A Sx.mus
Becomes:
Az Der Rebe Elimelek#16316C.mus
So, is FinaleScript (for Mac) bound by the old OS9 32-character filename limit?
If so, that's unbelievably awful and stupid.
