I also had problems loading my spacing libraries into 2K7 - nothing
would load - MM couldn't explain it either, but they said they would
look at it.
The work-around for me was to use 2K6, load the library items into a
blank file. Open that file with 2K7, then make a library - in my case
a music spacing library - and that library file now is readable by
any 2K7 file
hope this helps,

I also asked MM why any of the libraries I used/created in Fin2K6
would
not load (Chord Symbols, Shape Expressions, Shapes, Articulations) in
Fin2K7 but got no response to that question. Very frustrating,
because I
decided to use a new template (from 2K7) to work on a new piece
(rather
than what I have done in the past, which is: open an older template
that I
had customized). SO, I opened up a new 2K7 template, modified and
tried to
load my customized libraries, and none of them loaded. It just
blinked at
me when I said "Open Library" and I'd go to check to see if the
corresponding items were now updated, and see no changes. The
reason I was
using Fin2K7 template was I had major problems with the playback
features
(using Garritan) when I opened a Finale doc that had been created
in an
earlier version that 2K7. (dynamics would not affect some staves,
including hairpins, score and note expressions would have no impact
on the
dynamic levels on various staves, even when I deleted the existing
symbols
and replaced them, even when I reset the Velocity of the entire staff
using the midi tool; etc.; I even tried re-entering some of the
music to
see if that helped. MM did not address these issues in my tech
request and
I gave up asking, and I gave up using 2K7.) NOTE: I am using a Mac
G5 Dual
Core 2.0 Ghz with 5.5 GB of ram, and this is the same machine I
have been
using Fin2K5 and 2K6 on with no issues.
In response to Johannes and Vern:
I also experience this behavior in 2K7, though I find it only mildly
annoying. There are other problems, and the communication with the
support staff has deteriorated markedly since MM has gone to the web
based system. It is not only "mechanically" more difficult to
communicate, but the quality of the responses are sometimes dismally
off the subject, requiring a request that they go back an reread the
submission, so that they understand the question. This has happened
too often to be an accident, and I can only conclude that the quality
of the support staff has fallen.
I have a problem loading a Document Options library (on a Mac). When
I load a correctly (I believe) saved library, most of the font
selections are lost - wrong fonts are substituted, requiring me to
correct them and practically destroying the advantage of being able
to load a Document Options Library. Has anyone else experienced
this? Could it be some kind of corruption on my system? I thought
that MM had acknowledged this (on the Mac side), but they now claim
that they were referring to something else, and the communication
with them has become so obtuse that I no longer know what's going on.
Attempts to communicate with MM have become more frustrating than
they are worth.
