BTW, I have been in communication with tech support (new web

explode music bug.
Apparently, if you are in Speedy Entry and use the 9 key to flip an
enharmonic in a chord you are entering, then try to explode the
chord to separate staves, there are strong risks that the chord with
the flipped enharmonic will NOT explode properly, but will assign
all staves the lowest note in that chord. Furthermore, the note will
not even be spelled consistently from staff to staff (i.e., Ab on
some and G# on others.) Unflipped chords seem to explode correctly.
If you never touch the 9 key, and only flip enharmonics AFTER
explode, you may avoid the bug. I am testing this theory now, and
checking all my exploded parts afterwards is adding BIG time to my
work.
Thanks for sharing this with us. I never did get an proper response
from tech support and I couldn't quite figure out the pattern myself.
This seems to replicate my experience with the explode function.
It sure would be nice to get a Finale update that addressed some of
these things. I also wish I could fly. That would be cool.
