Yes, Andrew could simply have copied his 2k4 default file into the
Fin2k7 Component Files folder, although he would be missing out on a
lot of the new features, like auto-flip expressions and the cue note
staff style.

Andrew et al,
Shouldn't it be possible to remove your Maestro Font Default file
from your Finale folder before updating (not that I remembered to
do this!) and then replace it after the update?
Is there something I'm missing here. It did not occur to me to do
this, so I spent hours reconfiguring mine, but it seems so easy in
retrospect.

I am not on Windows, but for an upgrade from 2k4 to 2k7a I am

I just spent hours doing just that, and I fail to see how any
new features would be lost if the installation algorithm were to
copy, say, my shortened stem length from 2K4 to 2K7a. Or my
choices of fonts for various items. Or any of several dozen other
settings.
The installation does, after all, read the user's midi setup and
copy it to the new program despite great changes in the midi setup
procedure. If it can do that, it can do those other things.
And, oh yes, would it be so hard to have my preferences
automatically copied too?
I lost an entire day of productivity reproducing all this stuff in
2K7a, and I'm *still* not finished. :-(

And on a related topic: is there any way to globally set the
*length* of tie stubs? The only settings I know are for height and
inset percentage.
