are you using individual time signatures on your staves? or are you
using a pickup measure?
both these things can cause that problem
if you have a pickup measure, then instead of using Finale's old way of
entering a pickup measure - just use a different time signature for
that first incomplete measure - for instance: in a 4/4 piece with a
quarter note pickup: enter a 1/4 time signature for that first measure
with the option of displaying 4/4 rather than 1/4 (that is an option
when applying time signatures)
the problem of jumping expressions should disappear - good luck.

Thank you for the response. I'll answer your questions. (1) On the
"Expression Selection" dialogue box, the "note expression" option is
greyed out and thus cannot be selected. (2) This same problem has
occured with four different extracted files. The "Data Check" option
provides no clues.
Guess that I'll have to call Make Music and see what they have to say.
Best wishes,

Hi:
On windows Finale 2004, after extracting parts, I need to place the
tempo marking (such as quarter note = 50 - 54) at the beginning of the
extracted parts. This I can easily do using the expression tool and
the
Maestro character set. However, the marking will not stay in place.
As
I work with the score, it continues to jump progressively farther to
the
left and finally completely off the screen. Of course, I can replace
it
just before printing using the expression tool, but this is a
nuisance.
"Saving" with the tempo marking in its correct position is
ineffective;
when I reopen the file, it has jumped far to the left. Please, can
anyone help?
I've never run into this problem. When you enter it as an expression,
are you placing it as a note-attached expression, or measure-attached?
I wish I had run into this problem so I could offer you concrete
suggestions.
Try placing the expression in an otherwise blank file and see if it
does
the same thing. If it stays put, then something is corrupted in the
file where it constantly moves around.
You might also try the Data-Check option on the file where it moves and
see if it finds anything to correct. That might help.
Good luck!
