But the spacing is wrong *before* I've nudged anything. Nudging and then respacing gets me back to exactly the same place it was before I did any manual adjustment. > In an attempt to jog my memory, I just now tried some quick > experiments (in FinMac 2k2) and -- strange as it seems -- I was unable > to get any grace note spacing to come out wrong.

Of course, as with so many of the problems I encounter, it may be another of those artifacts of conversion from files created in older versions of Finale. That's not really acceptable as an excuse, but it seems to be used as one by those who comment on my reports of bugs here in this forum. I can't fathom how it's somehow acceptable to be required to recreate all your files each time you get a new version of Finale. I don't even know how I'd go about doing it, giving the massive number of bugs in the mass copying features. -- David W.
