That's all well and good, but how do you convert older files into the 
new version? Copy the data into a new template? We all know how well 
*that* works -- *NOT*.

This is an area in which Finale is very, very bad, and that seems to 
me to have lots of bugs and inconsistencies. I encounter them 
constantly, simply because I've been working on some of my files 
since 1991. 

Conversion to the new version clearly does *not* convert everything.
