When I was using my own default file, I never had this problem/
frustration.
Hi Hiro,
I have always used the same default files that I have taken with me
starting with Finale 2001. I have never had any problems with the
transfer during upgrades. I have one default file for parts, one for
scores and one for importing midi files (when I do midi
transcriptions.) I don't use the setup wizard so I don't have to
call my default file Maestro Default file or Jazz Default file. My
score file is set up for a large orchestra so it is easy to delete
parts and respace if necessary. I am currently considering redoing
my score default file for GPO playback. Each default file has one
measure in it and I use clip files to insert the "form" of the piece.
But there have been times that I have needed to import libraries
etc. I use the Library features within Finale for some things
including Chords as you are trying to do. I clear out the libraries
as you have done but then I use Patterson plug-ins Settings Scrapbook
to move over chord settings too. (Settings Scrapbook alone is worth
the price of Bob's plug-ins in my opinion as it really fills in the
gaps with Finale's Library feature.) You may also try running from
within the chord tool Chord>Change Chord Suffix Fonts. There are a
couple of spacing settings that you can reset. I have never used
this feature myself but you may want to try it. Let me know what you
find out!
For your text blocks, try out TGTools>Modify>Transfer. You can
transfer page text from one document to another as well as many other
things. I also use TGTools>Modify>Transfer>Metatools to transfer my
expression and articulation metatools when necessary. Look around in
this part of the TGtools plug-in. There are a ton of useful things
there!
Best,
Karen
