I need to do a quick rearrange of one of my old compositions for

show. I just opened up the original FinMac2.6 file with FinMac2006.
Took me a while to find the source of black objects, which is a common
problem. What I assigned blank stem back then becomes a huge black
rectangle to cover up the music.
Now the problem. I can't get Stuff Style to work. Yes, I swapped
Petrucci to Maestro first, and loaded the current Stuff Style file,
then
deleted the old ones. Still it shows the v2.6 Stuff Style, which was
fine with v2.6 but not with 2006. The biggest problem is Rhythmic
Notation, which slash head is placed major 2nd too low, and slash and
stem are disconnected. I tried to compare the Stuff Style settings
between native 2006 file and this one but I don't see anything
different.
I think I have tried pretty much everything but to no avail. Anyone
know how to remedy this problem? I don't have enough time to recreate
the chart from the scratch.
Hiro,
I don't think 2.6 HAD staff styles! You must have done that by manually
changing the note heads.
Opening very old files is always a big problem for me. Try dragging the
music into a NEW template, setting Mass Edit NOT to copy over stem
settings, then apply RHythmic Notation to the result.
You might have to try filtering out various things until this works, as
you may end up copying the problems into the new file as well.
Good luck. I feel your pain.
Christopher
