From a database point of view (and Finale files are database files),
it's definitely corruption, and of the logical type. There are two
types of corruption in a database:
1. logical corruption
2. content corruption.
Logical corruption means that the data structures in which your
information is stored are corrupted. It's quite clear from someone's
post yesterday (can't remember exactly who it was) who did a file
integrity check that the internal structures are completely hosed --
a whole lot of pointers connecting data to their usage information
has been lost.
Now, you see, THIS is the kind of knowledge that might go a long way to
helping MakeMusic solve this. If I better understood the way Finale
sees things, I might understand what exactly goes wrong when a bug
bites, and I would able to give MM all the info it needs. I might not
have thought of doing a file integrity check, for example, which
yielded all kinds of useful info.
Thankfully, I haven't seen this exact bug yet, but I haven't got 2006
yet, either...
