Hi Bernard, Since I upgraded Finale to 2008 some of my students have mentioned that they have been unable to open any 2008 files in Notepad. Can you shed any light on this problem? Things seem to work OK whan I use Fin 2005.

Notepad can't produce a file in 5/4. But it can work with a piece in 5/4: make an empty piece in 5/4 with Finale, and send it to your friend. Then he can work with it, put in notes, and so on.
