That doesn't make a lot of sense. Is it the slash symbol that is

Apparently - this was the culprit, and MM says that they can cure it
by going through the Generate Parts dialog. Since I was using their
template that already had the parts generated, I had no reason to go
through that process. I used the template in order to use as much of
MM's prepared material as possible, thinking that that would be
likely to help me avoid problems that I'd create by lack of
familiarity with the new way of doing things. I will try this later
with an older score - created in 2k7 beta, and see if the Generate
Parts operation circumvents the problem.
I'd hate to abandon the ChordSym font. I really love it.
I like it so much that I'll stick with 2006, if we can't figure out
how to make it work in 2007. But we may be a little hasty - let me
try this later and I'll report back about the results.
But wouldn't this problem be an all kinds of other alternate fonts
as well? What if one was using November, or Swing, or one of the
other fonts out there? MakeMusic needs to address this bug ASAP.
As far as I can see, this is largely a Staff Styles issue - directly
related to 2007 not recognizing the ChordSym font. Maybe this is
only true when the parts have already been generated before the Staff
Style is applied to the score. If this is the case - it's pretty
simple to work around it. I'll let you know as I learn more.

Hello all,
MM Mac support responded this AM with information that identifies
the source of the problems I was having for the last few days. It
seems that Bill Duncan's ChordSym font, which I use for alternate
notation (and therefor shows up in many staff styles) does not
"read" and prevents Finale 2007 from recognizing the applied staff
style. The parts, extracted or linked, don't show these styles
until they are re-applied in the individual parts. This is a pain
in the neck for me, but perhaps MM (or Bill) will make the
necessary adjustments that will allow this elegant font to work
correctly in 2007. This does not answer the erratic MM rest
behavior, but that is more easily dealt with, in any case.
I have started work on another file that does not contain these
fonts, and everything is working as it is supposed to, so far.
Thanks to all who weighed in on this frustrating problem.
