Just to have a break from GPO issues, here's something a little odd I just
noticed.

I have a passage with 16th-note 6-tuples in some parts, 8th-note triplets in
others, and various mixed duple and other rhythms in others.  In the "tuple"
rhythms, the tuple number is on the beam side, with no brackets.  What is
odd is that the tuple numbers are horizontally not positioned consistently
(H offsets are all zero).  For example, sometimes the "6" on a 16th-note
6-tuple is between the 3rd and 4th notes, where it belongs, and sometimes
it's aligned horizontally right on the 3rd note, and occasionally even on
the 4th note.  On an 8th-note triplet, the "3" is sometimes noticeably to
the left of the middle note.  I can't quite put my finger on what this
correlates to, but it seems to have something to do with music spacing when
tuples syncopate against other parts in the score.  If I extract one of the
offending parts from the score, the tuple numbers are all positioned
properly.  I'm on Finale 2004a; is this an issue that was fixed in a more
recent version?  Not a biggie, just curious.
