Hey Chuck,
I doubt the problem you are experiencing has anything to do with
Bill's fonts. All I meant was, it may be difficult for other people
to see the problems you are referring to when they open the file you
posted, because unless they have purchased and installed all of Bill
Duncan's fonts, they won't see what you see.
Cheers,
- Darcy

Darcy -
Do you think that Bill's fonts are somehow causing this wandering
staff style issue?
If that is the case, then my irritation with MM is misplaced. Of
course, it would be nice, for those of us who love the look of
these things, if Finale would accommodate them properly.
Eric,
I did not do a file maintenance data check - didn't know that was a
possibility, and I have since repaired the file, which now seems to
be holding its information in the correct places.
My emotions take over when things like this happen (hard as I try
to be rational), and I sometimes lose sight of obvious lines of
thought or procedures that occur to me (and others) in the cold
light of a couple of hours of distance from the problem.
Thanks for thinking about this - and if anyone who uses Bill's
fonts can spare the time to take a look, maybe we can figure out
where the problem lies and help MM (or me - if it's mine) to fix it.
Thanks,
Chuck

Actually, it's nothing to do with Mac vs. Windows. The problem is
that Chuck doesn't use the default Finale fonts (which are the
same on both platforms). He uses Bill Duncan's fonts, so if you
don't have Bill's font sets, many characters won't show up correctly.
Cheers,

Just a reminder, Chuck is using MACFin. If you are using WINFin,
the
program will not have the correct fonts installed to render the file
correctly....

Anyone with a few minutes to spare can look at this file - score
view is not
yet formatted for page layout, but the parts are. Look at the
score, then
look at Trombone 2. (I already repaired Trombone 3.)
Thanks,
Chuck

Well, here's a real work flow stopper: Score and parts created and
formatted; file then closed and later reopened; score looks OK, but
parts are corrupted; MM rests are not where they belong and slashes
have been applied where there should be MM rests; slashes are
missing
where they were originally applied.
This is not the first time this has happened, but the other
instances
have occurred in files I had converted from earlier versions, and I
attributed the problem to that. This file was created new - from a
2007 template. (I did copy in some parts form older files.)
Any ideas?
This is an ugly business, and I am about as frustrated with this
version of Finale as I have ever remembered being in all the
time I've
worked with it (since version 1!).
I am forwarding this message to the MM folks.
