Hi Aaron,
What you say may well be true, but I started with a Finale 2007
template, loaded Document Options (with the attendant problem of the
font settings not copying over), loaded an expressions library, an
articulations library, a chord library (using Bill Duncan's fonts, as
do the expression and articulation libraries), and then proceeded to
write an arrangement doing everything as I usually do.
That doesn't mean that there is no corruption of files here. It's
just that I don't know where it might have come from. I did not
start with a converted 2006 file for this project - specifically so
that I could try working entirely in the new system.
Other things I have done that might be pertinent:
I use Bill Duncan's special fonts, and I have copied over some of his
FAN files from my 2006 folder so that things appear correctly placed
with his characters.
I agree that almost any of the things I have encountered would have
raised many questions for the beta testers, so I am stymied at the
moment. Of course, with the exception of one or two bugs I have
found (the only important one being that the Document Options library
loses font settings), I imagine the 2007 will work as well as 2006
using the old part extraction methods
I have sent the file and many questions to MM, plowing through the
obstacles in the online interface 5 or 6 times to do it. When I hear
back from them - probably tomorrow, I'll report in. Meanwhile,
Christopher Smith is looking at the file, and I'm going to give it a
break until I hear form him or from MM Support, lest I become even
more frustrated and crazy.
Thanks all for paying attention to my troubles.
Chuck

Chuck, it sounds to me like you've got things going on beyond
garden-variety Fin07 irritations. Maybe it's a corruption in your
file, maybe it's something on your machine, maybe it's some
specific combination of settings in your document -- but the kinds
of things you're describing would certainly have been spotted
during the beta if they were commonplace.
Aaron.
