I often compose for symphonic band on a 10-line template I have created

template) and import lines (one at a time) from my condensed draft into
my full score. An odd behavior occurs: each imported line that I
copy/paste is a major sixth above what I had written. I noticed this
behavior in Finale 06, and it persists in 07. (I’m on a Mac G5).
Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong, or how to set up my documents
to avoid this, or is this a Finale quirk? Anyone else encounter this?
I've never encountered this, but it seems as if you have set up your
10-staff template with some sort of transposition embedded in it
(possibly chromatic transposition?) such that when you think you're
editing the correct pitch, perhaps it looks right but the program is
interpreting it differently? Or possibly you've setup the
transpositions incorrectly in your 27-staff score?
Do you use playback of your 10-line template, so you're sure the pitches
are correct?
Whenever I import lines from one file into another, the transpositions
have always worked as they have been supposed to work. I'm using
WinFin2007, things work fine here and they worked fine in WinFin2006.
Perhaps you could try a test -- setup a new 10-staff template (don't
worry about the expressions, articulations, etc.) and also do a small
transposed template (maybe 4 staves, with Bb and Eb and F
transpositions) and try importing a short excerpt.
If you're using templates brought forward from previous versions of
Finale, perhaps that is the problem.
